The Old Town neighborhood of Beijing, China, is renowned for its unique residential layout, where living spaces were designed to meet the needs of residents of varying social statuses, guaranteeing them an adequate quality of life. The apartments, like small oases, created harmonious, understated spaces. Zayuan Habitat’s project is a prime example of a minimalist transition, connecting the courtyard and the living room. The large open space provides ample freedom and breathability, introducing spaciousness into the small living space. The austerity of materials and minimalism are the dominant features.
