明长城下的华北山村，日渐萧条
The North China villages under the MingGreat Wall are
increasingly depressed
河北迁安杨各庄镇，地处中原农耕文化和北方少数民族游牧文化的交错地带。燕山宿集选址在此，位于明长城脚下，站在田间、抬头即见千年巍峨长城横亘眼前。
Yanggezhuang town of Hebei Qianan, is located in the central plains farming culture and the northern minority nomadic culture of the staggered zone. Yanshan Inns chose this site, at the foot of the Ming Great Wall. Standing in the field, you can look up and see the millennium Great Wall across the eyes.

由于村落地处偏远，年轻人大都已离开，留下的多为老人与孩子，房屋开始破败，村子日渐萧条。
Due to the remoteness of the village, most of the young people have left, leaving mostly the elderly and children behind. The houses are crumbling and the village is becoming depressed.

燕山宿集，给老村庄带来生机
Yanshan Inns bring new life to the old village
燕山驿租下这些闲置的民宅，将它们逐一改建成舒适、现代、高品质的民宿。观堂设计承接了其中3个院落的改造设计（2号院、4号院、5号院）。
Yanshanyi rented these idle homes and turned them into comfortable, modern and high-quality homestays one by one. GTD (Guantang Interior Design) undertook the renovation design of three courtyards (No. 2, No. 4, and No. 5).

这三个院落房屋虽然破败，但建筑主体相对完整。改造过程中，本着“最大限度保留原建筑”的原则，将质朴的农耕生活与现代品质美好的追求相融合，在保持原汁原味的基础上提升入住的舒适度与体验感。
Although the three courtyard houses are dilapidated, the main structure of the building is relatively intact. In the process of renovation, in line with the principle of “maximizing the preservation of the original building”, the rustic farming life is integrated with the pursuit of modern quality and beauty, and the comfort and experience of staying are enhanced on the basis of maintaining the original flavor.

四合院的建筑关系，4号院里的乌托邦
The architectural relationship of Siheyuan, the utopia of Courtyard 4
4号院是老民居中保存最完整的，也是三个院落中唯一可以安排泳池的院子。原有的4间房呈四合院的建筑关系，设计中顺势而为，在合院的中心做了下沉设计，成为星空下围炉夜谈的乌托邦。原有破败的偏房地块上新建了公区，在杂草丛生的地块上开辟出泳池，入户大门尽力保留了几十年前的古老瓷砖对联。入住4号院，就像回到了自己曾经的家，熟悉而松弛。

No. 4 courtyard is the most complete of the old residences, and the only courtyard where a swimming pool can be arranged. The original 4 rooms are the architectural relationship of Siheyuan, that’s why a sinking design is made in the center of the courtyard, which becomes the utopia of chatting and singing at night under the stars.
A new public area was built on the original dilapidated cottage plot, a swimming pool was created on the overgrown plot, and the entrance door did its best to retain the ancient tile couplets from decades ago. Moving into Yard 4 is like returning to your former home, familiar and relaxed.

新旧碰撞，回忆与情感的载体 — 2号院
The collision of the old and the new, the carrier of memories and emotions — No. 2 Yard
2号院的房子年份最久远，加上外围的玉米地，成长方形体块。本着“开门见公区”的布局逻辑，我们将地块分割为南北两个院子。北面院子在旧建筑基础上进行改造，形成2间客房；南面院子为玉米地上加建新房，有3间客房。新旧院子由位于中心的公区自然过渡，最大限度地尊重原有建筑，从而完成客房与公区的功能布置。

The house in Court 2 is the oldest, and with the cornfields in front of it, it grows into a rectangle shape. In line with the layout logic of “open the door to see the public area”, we divided the plot into two yards in the north and south. The north courtyard was reconstructed on the basis of the old building to form 2 guest rooms; In the south courtyard, new houses were added to the cornfield, with three guest rooms. The old and new courtyards naturally transition from the central public area, maximizing respect for the original building and thus completing the functional arrangement of the guest rooms and the public area.

私享静谧，小而美的5号院
Private quiet, small and beautiful Courtyard 5
5号院的尺度是最小的，主建筑和入口成轴线对称关系。根据原有建筑、我们仅设置了两间客房，宽敞舒适，将空间完全留给客人；入口处新建了餐厅和客厅，仅服务于这2间房的客人，同时有效隔离了周边建筑的视觉干扰。院落一角曾经破败坍塌的偏房别出心裁地改造成为汤泡池，成为5号院的独享。

No.5 courtyard is the smallest in scale, its main building and the entrance are symmetrical in axis. According to the original building, we only set up two rooms, spacious and comfortable, leaving the space completely for the guests; A new dining room and living room at the entrance serve only the guests of these two rooms, while effectively isolating the visual interference of the surrounding buildings. The once dilapidated wing room in the corner of the courtyard was creatively transformed into a soup bubble pool, which became the exclusive property of No. 5 courtyard.

如果说2号院和4号院适合聚会与团建，5号院则适合偏好安静的人们，全身心的沉浸在度假氛围中，不受外来干扰。推开门，迎面而来的松弛与静谧，是与外围截然不同的世界。
If Courtyard 2 and Courtyard 4 are suitable for parties and group building, Courtyard 5 is suitable for people who prefer quiet, fully immersed in the holiday atmosphere, without external interference. When pushing the door in, the relaxation and silence coming from you are a completely different world from the outside.

修旧如旧，牛羊棚摇身变客厅
Repair the old as the old, Change the barn into a living room
2号院边上有间杂物房，早年用于喂养牛羊、存放干草木柴。因为年久失修，地面沉降、墙体剥落、屋顶漏水，拿到屋子的时候几乎难以踏足。
There is a utility room at the edge of No. 2 courtyard, which was used in the early years to feed cattle and sheep and store hay and firewood. Because of its disrepair, the ground was settled, the wall was peeled off and the roof was leaking, it was almost impossible to step in.
▼曾经的牛羊棚，The former cattle and sheep shed © 汤汤
改造过程中，对建筑进行加固，屋顶翻新并加开天窗以采光，向剥落的墙体内加入固化剂、确保不再继续破败的基础上保留其原始的斑驳痕迹。继而配上现代舒适的家具，安装真火壁炉，曾经的牛棚摇身变为人气兴旺的聚会小客厅。
During the renovation, the building was reinforced, the roof was renovated and skylights were added for light. Curing agents were added to the peeling walls to ensure that the original mottled traces were preserved on the basis of no further deterioration. Then with modern and comfortable furniture, the installation of a real fire fireplace, once a cow shed shaking into a popular small gathering room.

新旧结合，坍塌旧屋的重生
The combination of the old and the new, the rebirth of the collapsed old house
4号院的偏房，层高低矮、空间局促、即将坍塌，但其用传统手法垒起的乱石墙面非常优美，如若推倒会是莫大的损失。
The wing room of No.4 courtyard is low in height, cramped in space, and about to collapse, but its stone wall built with traditional methods is very beautiful. It will be a great loss if it is knocked down.

改造过程中，区别于2号院的修旧如旧，我们采用了“新旧结合”的手法，对有价值的墙体进行保留，并延续当地民居特色、用“包裹”的手法在其外围又盖上一间大屋子充当“保护房”，拱形屋顶，木头饰面，落地玻璃门窗。那堵别具风格的石头墙，成为新客厅里一道装置艺术，诉说着曾经的历史。
In the process of renovation, different from the restoration of No. 2 courtyard, we adopted the method of “combining the old and the new” to preserve the valuable walls, and continued the characteristics of local folk houses. We used the method of “wrapping” to build a large room around it as a “protection room”, with an arched roof, wood veneer and floor-to-ceiling glass doors and windows. The distinctive stone wall becomes an installation art in the new living room, telling the past history.

变废为宝，塌房成泡池
Turn waste into treasure, the collapse house changes into a bubble pool
拿到房屋时，5号院的偏房已坍塌，墙面豁开一大口子，一根石柱勉强支撑着。依据其位于院角的位置，利用残留的墙面，我们因地制宜，变废为宝，将这半坍塌的屋子改造成半开放式的泡汤池。在干旱少雨的华北村落，在月朗星稀的夜晚，点起篝火，没进汤池，远眺长城，遥想着千年浩瀚历史，论古道今，豪气冲天。
When we got the house, the wing room of the No.5 courtyard had collapsed, the wall was gaping a large gap, and a stone column was barely supported. According to its position in the corner of the courtyard, using the remaining wall, we transform the semi-collapsed room into a semi-open soup pool. In the drought and little rain in the North China village, in the night of the moon, lit a bonfire, bathing in the pool, overlooking the Great Wall, thinking of the vast history of thousands of years.

踏上古老的长城遗址，
望着巍峨延绵的燕山与长城，
抚摸着历经沧桑的断壁残垣，
遥想当年刀光剑影厮杀呐喊，
真乃
雄关漫道真如铁，而今迈步从头越。
Set foot on the ruins of the ancient Great Wall,
Looking at the Yanshan Mountain and the Great Wall,
Touching the walls and ruins of the vicissitudes of life,
Imaging the ancient time of fighting with knifes and swords,
HOW IT IS!
