“别止”和“白格”是两处在时间上前后处理的“民宿”项目，以“家庭”和“公共”社交空间为主体，六个私密客房在使用时，能够在家庭式的客厅和咖啡厅及庭院里享受人与人之间的旅行及生活经验的交流。

BESIDES and BLANCO are two projects of design hotel processed one after another. With a major area intended for family, social and public usages, the hotel of six guestrooms provides a facility for the exchanges between the dwellers about their experiences in travel and living, either in hotel’s homelike sitting room, the coffee bar or its pleasant courtyard.

设想栖居自然的现代而朴素的生活方式，纯白和石头去构建抽象的多种生活背景。白色提供无限延伸的想象可能性，石提供对自然的谦卑使用和贴近感。逐层取景及最大的将山林纳入室内，让负面周遭溶解在光线内进入室内。空间需要发声。诗词和摄影，对应到空间体验和对景。山林脚下的交际空间，人们乐意在自然下栖居，聚会，沉静和独处。以“筑体家具”来形成恒定空间，作为家具或者墙体使用，使得室内的空间建筑化和园林化。有意的增加墙体的延伸和悬浮，使得人与包裹的建筑发生直接及亲密的关系。室内的“建筑”，在尺度内让人感受攀爬和盘坐的行为方式，让包裹感和室外感在内部去寓意传统的山林居住方式。微观景观的尺度，以平阔的视角使得大小世界在同一个视觉范围内共生。

Imagine a simple, plain yet modern way of life in close proximity to nature, and a background of multiple lives which consists abstractly of pure white and stones. Color white offers a possibility of limitless imagination, while stones a closeness to and a humble utilization of the nature. Framing the view layer by layer and integrating as much as possible the woods and hills into the interior which absorbs also the negative surroundings dissolved in the light rays. Space needs be heard. Poetry and photography are in correspondence with the space experiences and the composition of reciprocal views (a method often applied in a traditional Chinese garden). In such an amicable space amid woods and hills, no matter what way of life is led, collective or solitary, gleeful or serene, all will be enjoyable. Used as furniture or, sometimes, a kind of wall, the ‘constructed furniture’ defines the space and, at the same time, introduces the spirit of architecture and Chinese garden into the interior. Intentional extension of walls, either in horizontal or in vertical direction, arouses a kind of affinity between the dwellers and the surrounding architecture. These interior ‘constructions’, with their appropriate dimension, make dwellers more apt to experience the traditional way of living amid woods and hills, even including the acts of climbing, crawling and cross-legged sitting which are already implied in the enveloping structures usually situated outdoors. The dimension of the mini-landscape as well as its wide horizontal angle of view make possible the co-existence of a big world and a smaller one in one and the same sight of view.

“别止”
Hotel BESIDES

别止的原主体建筑是两层带阁楼的2000年初的自建房子，坐落在西湖附近一片民居的角落，周围山林围绕，院子有240m2. “择一别院，居止而歇”，是其名字的由来。主体建筑后面还有一小偏房，单独做了一个私密的带院子的客房。房间内用了很多的“筑体”家具，解决了小空间内空间分割与家具的使用。而整体的意向从“石”出发，希望寻找空间的“永恒”感觉。

Built up in early 2000, the original main building of this hotel is situated in a dwelling area, not far from the West Lake, surrounded by woods and hills. The Chinese name of this hotel, literally meaning ‘staying aside’, can be traced back to the phrase ‘choose an extraordinary courtyard and stay there for a rest’, as the building is endowed with a remarkable courtyard of 240 square meters. An extra small house behind the main building has been renovated into an individual guesthouse with its own private courtyard. A great number of “constructed furniture” offers a resolution to the space division in a limited area and meet the demand for furniture use. Based on the idea of “stone”, the overall image of the hotel is expected to recall a feeling of eternity in space.

别止“六景”
Six Views of Hotel BESIDES

“山石” 小相大林 | ‘Mountain Stones’ – Moderate Image and Exalted Woods

石有形，却又无形。我们去选择“石形”，却无法选择。它们似乎适应所有的形态与造势。山石同一，草木同一。造景不靠石身，依与周边形态。“别止”用了大量的石头，以简化的“山水”去表达人与山林及自然的关系。湖石、卵石、石砾、石板、石漆、石亭、石灯布与各处，使整个空间能沉静，感觉坚实不碎，感觉到“永恒”。石垫定了整个场所及室内的基调，大地色在光线下可以更温润。石被苔藓簇拥，在石砾中成为小场所，如一屿、一湾、一小片大陆。雨润、日晒，可以慢慢的看时间在上面走过的痕迹。

Formed but formless at the same time, stones are factually beyond our choosing the stone form. They seem adaptable to all patterns and momentums. Mountains and stones are one, just like herbs and woods. View creation depends upon the features of surrounding area instead of stones themselves. A great number of stones can be found in the site of BESIDES, which reflects the idea of using the simplified “Chinese landscape painting” to convey the relationship between humans and the Nature. Pebbles, gravels, slates, lake stones, stone varnish, stone pavilions and stone lanterns… with all these being settled in various places, the hotel space is imbued with serenity, solidness, wholesomeness and eternity. The stones offer a fundamental tone for the whole space, even including the indoor area, which tenderizes the color of the earth basked in the light rays. Enveloped sometimes of moss and scattered among gravels, some stones can be taken as lovely venue like islet, oasis or even tiny continent. Vestiges of time, of sunny days or rainy nights, all can be traced back slowly, only with a little more patience.

铜镜照形取影 | Bronze Mirror – Reflection of Shapes and Shadows

“镜”原以铜或铁铸，窥镜自视，以镜考己。手敲的铜与圆形镜面围合而成，散布在整个空间的居室、水台。空间在镜内同时存在。在无尽的折射里，几何图案进行重复、层叠。未经过度加工的铜料，会在人的触碰之下，愈久愈亮。

Made from bronze or iron, the traditional mirror is a good instrument for self-inspection. The hand-hammered bronze and its round surface being combined together, the mirrors, scattered casually in the living rooms and the waterside terraces, have in themselves a series of reflected space. Through these endless reflections, geometric patterns are repeated and overridden one upon another. The bronze surface, as a material without being excessively processed, is getting more glistening with frequent human contact.

木-登及坐香 | Wood -Sitting in Fragrance

择木而居，倚木而栖。“木”本就与人份外亲近，因为它有温度。木垒成台，席地而坐。客房内将席地的传统坐席方式转变成舒适、慵散的生活。所用桧木内含有大量精油，香无辛味，质性坚硬，耐朽力高，不易腐蚀，不怕虫侵蚀。桧木随着使用会慢慢散发原木味，日久弥香。

Stay with a tree of choice and take a rest against its trunk. Wood, thanks to its inherent warmth, has a certain kind of affinity with humans. Piled up into a platform for people to sit on, the traditional style of mat-sitting in a guesthouse finds its modern version of comfort and coziness. Japanese Cypress wood, material being used here, has a lot of remarkable qualities, such as essential oil in great amount, fragrance without irritating odor, very hard essence, high resistance against decay, corrosion and erosion by worms, with its woody fragrance gradually emitting under the daily usage, which can last for a very long time.

图框 – 望至自然 | View Framing – Nature in Sight

框而成像，自然成景。山林围绕，就可以瞭望四季。樟木为穹，星空为帐，就可以感知交替。别止对景开窗，大面积层叠的绿色是居室的背景，小方框内也是如镜头摄取的时刻不同的自然。灰色的线条勾勒图框边界，如嵌入整个建筑的不同镜头，把这片山林真实的放在你面前。

Once properly framed, nature may turn into a beautiful scenery. With woods and hills as background, the four seasons unfold their changing sequences under the eyes of dwellers. The surrounding camphor trees as high as a vault and the starry sky being taken for a tent, one is apt to feel the alternation of the four seasons. Being opened towards the view to introduce the verdure into the indoor space, the windows look like some landscape paintings and those tiny squares may be taken as viewfinders in response to the constantly changing outside scenery. Emphasized with their borders in gray, theses frames, just like different lens imbedded in the whole building, bring in front of you the authenticity of the woods and hills.

地台-简居随性 | Ground Terraces – Simplicity and Casualness

简化的“筑体家具”，如同生长，成为案台、课桌、茶几、台阶、水台，变成每个空间纵横的立体布局。类同的元素在系统下，在空间内形成边界、划分，探索简居的生活形态。它的实物感，即可是家具又可是构筑物，可以使用，也可以是墙或地面的衍生造型。它界定有限空间内的区域，使之井然又可以多变。

The simplified “constructed furniture” seems having grown into such objects as counter tops, desks, tea tables, stairs and waterside platforms, constituting a three-dimensional layout for each space. Serving as border and separator for the entire space system, similar elements are exploring a simple and plain way of life. Being considered as furniture and construction at the same time, these equipments demonstrate not only the solidity and utility as a real object, but also the formal quality as a derivative from the wall or the ground, defining various areas within a limited space and keeping it orderly and versatile as well.

圆形 – 周而复始 | Round Shape – Endlessly Moving in Cycle

终点亦起点，无形即万象。圆，温和也无限，平和也夺目。似空间的重叠无尽，也似对无限的具象，而“无限”只是一个概念。世界上没有真正的圆，圆实际上只是概念性的图形。那去掉本义，取之含括成弧形，简之一笔，回到一点。也便如一日，复始又不同。

It starts from where it ends. All images are contained in the formlessness. The round shape is mild yet limitless, gentle yet brilliant. Looking like an endless overlapping of spaces, it is the embodiment of limitlessness, though the latter is no more than conceptual. Never has existed a real “round shape” in the real world because such a shape is merely conceptual. Leaving off its original meaning, it would find itself in a curve. With one less stroke, it might turn itself back to merely one point, quite like the day repeating itself but in different manner.

“白格”
Hotel BLANCO

白格原为两栋独立的80年代农宅，前后间隔仅有1.2米，最后一栋依旧为房东自宅。7.6米的开间朝着玉皇山山脚，山脚为一片高大的樟树林。建筑右边为相连的邻居，而左侧是一条一米不到的小巷。两栋建筑进深最深处达到了26米，整体建筑的采光条件并不理想。设计意在极大程度的将外部光线引入到室内，并解决后排建筑太封闭的室内感觉。

Based on two separate rural houses built in the 1980s with a gap in-between of only 1.2 meters in width, Hotel BLANCO is facing to an expanse of camphor trees at the foot of the Mount Yuhuang, with a back house currently being used by its owner. The building is 7.6 meters in width, having its neighbors on the right side and, on its left, an alley of less than 1 meter in width. A spatial depth of as far as 26 meters cannot be said favorable in terms of lighting effect. The focus of our renovation is therefore mainly to introduce as much as possible the external light into the indoor space, and to attenuate the overly enclosed indoor space of the building on the back row.

公共空间，将两栋建筑中间的间隔作为内向的院子封闭起来，利用钢结构将原来的砖石框架结构进行局部加固及改造，楼道空间与客厅以及内院全部打通，达到视线与空间的最大程度的开放。白色的主体色调在一定程度上增加了空间的空旷及延伸感觉，在朝院子及山体的南向全部用落地玻璃打开，在室内就可以直接面对山林。

In order to attain an maximum opening and visibility of its public space, the gap between the two original buildings, being enclosed now, are transformed into an inner courtyard and the original frame structure of bricks and stones has been reinforced with steel structure. After the renovation, no more physical division existed between the passageways, the sitting room and the inner courtyard. The color white, major hue for the entire building, enhances the feeling of hollowness of the stretched inner space. With the southern façade of the hotel being filled with floor-to-ceiling windows, a pleasant view is directly introduced not merely of the courtyard but also of the wooded hills opposite the hotel.

室内的六个房间，均以白色为基调，洗漱及spa空间占用了大部分客房内的较多区域，希望入住的客人能够消除疲倦，舒适的泡澡。而其他的工作及小憩都经常性的能够在公共空间发生。一楼朝内院做地台处理。室内则做了一个超大的地台，放入两张单人床。二楼四个房间，朝山林为阳台。六個房間，以笔划性的文字结构命名，欲将意义消解在文字结构里。

Having fixed the color white as the major tone for the six guestrooms, we cede a large part of the indoor space, in most of our guestrooms, for a spacious bath and spa area, in the hope that our guests can be recovered from fatigue after a comfortable bath. The public space is intended for working and taking breaks. A terrace is set up on the ground floor towards the inner courtyard. And inside the room is built a super-large platform on which are installed two single beds. Four rooms on the second floor, endowed with balconies on the wooded hill side. All the six rooms being named after some components of Chinese characters, and the literal meaning of symbols is thus dissolved in the stokes.

▼室内的六个房间均以白色为基调，white is the major tone for the six guest rooms

一号房，“一” yī。意为：完整，景不长留，但一方山林为你而在，四季则完整。以一道矮墙分割卧室与洗漱区域。二号房，“冂” jiōng。意为：远界，如阁与山林之中，利用层高做二层，一楼为开放式洗浴空间。三号房，“匚”fāng。意为：容纳，家庭，融合。放一“匚”形木盒子，利用盒子上方做茶室。四号房，“丿” piě。意为：永恒，“光”是这个背景上存在的形象。做一条形天窗。洗浴盛于白色框体内。五号房，“丶”zhǔ。意为：停顿，旅途暂歇，相遇而安。六号房，“囗” wéi 。意为：围合，一炉暖火，长谈彻夜。朝内院开放，形成自由的组合空间。

Room 1. Marked with ‘一’ (yī, meaning completeness). The scenery does not stay long while the woods and hills, along with the alternation of seasons, are there for you forever. One low wall divides this room into bedroom and wet area. Room 2. Marked with ‘冂’ (jiōng, meaning remote boundaries). Associated with a pavilion in a mountain forest, the room is endowed, thanks to its unusual height, with an extra story and an opening area for shower and bath on the ground floor. Room 3. Marked with ‘匚’ (fang, meaning integration, family and fusion), this room has an added feature, i.e. a wooden box in the shape of “匚”, of which the top surface may be served as tea area. Room 4.Marked with ‘丿’ (piě, meaning eternity), this room is special for its strip-like skylight, and therefore taking ‘the light’ from ‘the high’ as its ‘highlight’. The bath facilities are installed within a white frame structure. Room 5. Marked with “丶” (zhǔ) which means a pause, a break in course of a journey, and a pleasant encounter.Room 6. Marked with “囗” (wéi, meaning enclosure, a long-night chat around the stove), this room is opened towards the inner courtyard, with a space allowing free combination.
