A renovation project of a traditional courtyard type house, located very close to the Forbidden Palace, the
most famous tourist spot in Beijing. This innovative architectural structure is made of polyethylene stacking blocks that also transmits light. The interior is filled with sunlight filtering through the blocks during day and emits a soft glow at night. This corresponds well with the context of the area and also present a futuristic atmosphere.
