Text description provided by the architects. Background
The countryside of China has in recent years undergone rapid changes due to the national policy to encourage development of rural areas.  Large amount of boutique hotels, B&Bs, tourist centers, Instagram-able cafes, bookstores were erected amidst the beautiful scenery of China's suburb.  These tourism-driven projects generally existed as products that add values to developers' investments and depict a rural utopia.  They have recently become the typical model of rural rejuvenation in China.  Contrary to this typical and utopian model, House G is an atypical mode of rural intervention in the way that it is an architecture designed for a local family, rather than for investors.  The design is honestly based on the true and fundamental needs of users and their living experiences.  It is a house that reflects the daily domestic lives and activities of the family, as opposed to be a spectacle inserted in the suburban landscape.
