A hillside house adds an earthy twist to village residence construction

It is not uncommon for China’s new generation of rural migrant workers to save up for a self-built house in their home village. Ironically, most of the houses become vacant after being constructed, just acting as a flashy symbol of wealth in neighborhood. However, this project is different, as it is meant for daily dwelling and living.

Jin Feng insisted on practicality, took into account the owner's living habits, emphasized engineering budget, and followed up the whole process including on-the-spot investigation, leveling of land, courtyard layout design, structural construction, as well as interior decoration and detail optimization.

The biggest problem in village construction is that there is no well-established infrastructure planning. Accordingly, Jin Feng considered the septic tank and waste fermentation system for the whole house at the very beginning.

The interior space features large areas of concrete brick walls, which were painted in white, with low cost. A large striking oriented strand board functions as a background structure and also a partition. It contrasts with the imitation concrete floor tiles and exposed wires, balancing the cool industrial tone with its warm wooden texture.
The minimalist characteristic of this white house differs from the existing appearance of the village.

중국의 신세대 농촌 이주 노동자들이 고향 마을에 자기 집을 짓기 위해 저축하는 것은 드문 일이 아니다. 대부분의 집들이 건설된 후 공실이 되고, 단지 화려한 부의 상징으로 작용한다. 하지만 이 프로젝트는 매일의 주거와 생활을 위한 것이기 때문에 기존의 집과 달랐다. 실용성을 고집하고, 건축주의 생활습관을 배려하고, 공학적 예산을 강조하며, 현장조사 및 시공, 실내 장식, 세부 최적화 등의 과정을 거쳤다.
