项目位于中国甘肃一处偏远乡村，原有建筑为坡顶三合院，是历经数百年历史沉淀形成的典型西北民居的传统样式。
The project is located in remote rural area in Gansu, China. With three-sided introverted single-slope roof, original building has the traditional style of typical northwest houses formed after hundreds of years of historical precipitation.

一方面，中国快速城市化进程给乡村带来了物质的极大丰富，村民渴望提升居住品质；另一方面，后代定居城市、老人留守乡村的时代浪潮，又导致了乡村土地的荒芜和家庭情感的疏离。新的民居，不仅是留守老人田园生活的物理空间，更是唤起家族记忆与凝聚亲情的精神载体。
On one hand, rapid urbanization process has brought a certain material richness to rural areas, and villagers are eager to improve their living quality; on the other hand, the wave of times led to the desolation of rural land and the alienation of family emotions, when the young settled in cities and the old stayed in rural areas. The new house is not only the physical space for the rural life of the left-behind elderly, but also the spiritual carrier for arousing family memories and cohesion of family ties.

重建建筑沿用了当地外高内低的内凹型合院，并用红砖、混凝土、松木这三种被广泛使用的建材共同构建出三重边界，围合出一个家庭共享的，包含果园、菜园、内院、檐廊、步道的独立的田园世界。
The reconstruction follows the local concave courtyard with high outside and low inside. Three widely used building materials, red brick, concrete and pine board, are used to construct a triple boundary, enclosing an independent rural life shared by families, including orchards, vegetable gardens, inner courts, eaves corridors and footpaths.

建筑形式、材料均源自于这片土地，真实合理的建造直接回应地域自然环境、新的空间功能和旧的生活记忆。让建筑与人、与这片亘古永存的土地建立起超越时间的、更深厚稳固的情感关系。
Architectural form and materials are all derived from this land. Real and rational construction directly responds to the regional natural environment, new space functions and existing life memories. It establishes a deeper and more stable emotional connection among architecture, people, and the land beyond time.
