Text description provided by the architects. A young couple came to us for a weekend house located in the countryside of Shanghai named Datuan town. The dispersed agriculture fields, the small river, the highway and a cluster of houses with pitch roof compose its general countryside surrounding. The site is fortunately positioned on the edge of the land, across the small riverand on the southwest is the famous peach field. The husband is a lover of modernism, and on the first day of meeting he quoted Le Corbusier’s words“A house is a machine for living in”.
