The site is located in a residential area, adjacent to theeast side of Beijing Third Ring Road. This is a renovation project of an old building made into a Japanese restaurant. As Manzo Bar (designed by BMA 2005)was to move, BMA was requested to design the interior space again. In April 2011, the project started from demolishing the interior decoration of the former Chinese restaurant with a floor area of 380sq.m. Having exposed the existing building frame to check the structure and the equipments, we worked ondesign in parallel with construction and restoration, andcompleted in September 2011.

This is a detached house project locating at Changping ward, the suburb of Beijing City. The site is on the slope facing to the south, surrounded by the mountain in the north side, and has the good natural environment. This is not a new construction but the renovation project of the old concrete structure house that was built 5 years ago. We add the new floor and flat roofing to extend the floor area. Originally the house was 2 stories (250 sq. m.) with angled roof, and the exterior wall was covered by white tiles. Our new design changes it as the house of 3 stories (770 sq. m.) with flat roof, and the exterior wall is covered by gray blocks with outer insulation. Building plan was simplified as “C” form at the same time by us.
