Twisting courtyard is located in Paizihutong, Dashilar Area, Beijing. It used to be a siheyuan [courtyard house] with a single entry. The purpose of the improvement is to upgrade the necessary infrastructure needed for modern life, thus turning this traditional courtyard, which mainly serves as a residence, into an attractive public space in Beijing’s inner city.
