The project is located in the farmland on the fringe area of Guye district, Tangshan. Villages and houses are scattered around. The site is a rectangular flat plot of land that covers an area of 6,000㎡. The basic function of the building is acting as a processing workshop for organic food: raw materials come from organic producing areas across the country; they are collected, processed and packed here; and then they are delivered to other places as finished products. The design is inspired by a traditional courtyard building. The initial idea was to build a magnified courtyard house – a workplace full of natural atmosphere and flexibility, which would be self-contained and form a corresponding relationship with the surrounding broad and flat field.
