大隐盛世，一座四合院是奢侈的宁静

 

 

 

 

 

五间房间五种性格

       原有存在木结构遭腐蚀、强度破坏、空间压抑灰暗等明显不足，院内更是私搭乱建出各种房间，蚕食了本来开敞的院子。院子新的功能使命是一个小型精品民宿，设计者首先希望恢复四合院的精髓，创造一个豁然开朗的院子，把枣树、阳光以及使用者的各种活动装进去。两个L型房间的布局帮助设计师实现了这一空间，沿街的北房与东房是一个公共客厅连带两个客房，南房与西房被分成三间不同大小的客房。并以京剧特有的角色生旦净末丑来命名这5间不同性格的房间。

 

 

 

       为了营造内合院传统自然的氛围，设计者选用了竹钢作为外围护和立面的主要材料。竹钢是一种高性能竹基纤维复合材料，具有绿色环保，强度高，加工性好的特点，最重要是它既可以作为结构承重构件，同时也可以直接作为外饰面。颜色和质地都好过与后期加上去的装饰材料。内院立面大面积玻璃和竹木材质构成了充满现代主义的简洁构图，表达了设计者对传统的尊重，对自然的追求和对居住品质的追求。

      在改造过程中设计者保留了老屋结构性的屋架，增加了檩条，全屋更换了防水和屋面瓦。南房和西房在原有标高基础上下降了60cm，与东、北房标高一致，并保持屋脊高度不变，这样一来西、南房增加了室内净高，设计者利用增加的高度在两个客房做了夹层，增加了客房的趣味性。

 

       旧城区老房子里的内部改造总能对社会人群形成极大的吸引力。它的最大价值不仅在于住宿，而在于展示了一个新旧结合的可能性，为老城更新赐予了更高的信心，勾勒出了北京旧城更新的前景。
