In 2024, leveraging the Hangzhou Asian Games, the China Academy of Art · College of Innovative Design and Hangzhou Vanke launched the Urban Micro-Space Regeneration Plan, focusing on overlooked "residual spaces" — from lakesides and bridge underpasses to unused office corners. Through micro-interventions, the project seeks to activate these forgotten fragments of the city and bring warmth and vitality to daily urban life.

In the winter of 2023, Moguang Studio was commissioned to design a public facility for a planned guesthouse district in Longwanggou Village, Shiyan, Hubei. The program integrates light dining, a café, kitchen, and meeting functions. The site, adjacent to the Danjiangkou Reservoir, had already been leveled into artificial terraces and parking lots, erasing its original continuity with the valley and rice paddies.

Lost Villa · Ginkgo Valley Hotel project is located in Guangjia Chong, Jiukouyan Village, Luoyang Town, Suizhou City, Hubei Province. In the local dialect of Hunan and Hubei, "Chong" refers to a flat area between valleys, suitable for cultivation and irrigation. Jiukouyan Village, situated on the edge of the Xiangguang Fault Zone, features gently rolling mountains. The project spans six abandoned homestead plots in the village, with areas ranging from 120 to 1,050 square meters, scattered across the mountainous terrain. The village entrance lies to the north, and the valley is filled with over 200 dawn redwoods and ancient ginkgo trees dating back a thousand years.

Guangjiachong Valley in Suizhou City, Hubei Province, is just a 15-minute drive from the famous Ginkgo Valley Scenic Area. The Treehouse is located at the junction of two paths leading into the valley. The environment is somewhat bustling, and within a limited 90㎡ plot, the design needed to avoid the roots of three ancient trees while accommodating two standard guest rooms of no less than 50㎡ each and a utility storage room. During their first site visit, the designer and the owner established a clear strategy: to elevate the entire building. This approach not only created two distinct spatial qualities—quiet above and dynamic below—but also utilized the lush ginkgo canopies to provide privacy and scenic views for the guest rooms. Meanwhile, the ground level was freed up as a semi-outdoor activity area, naturally supporting a variety of vacation activities such as dining, roasting ginkgo nuts, swinging, and relaxing in the shade.

Background
As urban planning develops in Beijing, urban renewal gradually spreads from the center to the suburban Beizhuang Town. The project site was originally a garment manufacturing factory covering an area of 5,000 sqm in Beizhuang Town. We have retained the original layout of factory buildings, and renovated it into a youth activity center which is comprised of youth education camps along with classroom, restaurant, conference room, and accommodations. The site is divided into two courtyards. The northern one is featured by a large one-story single-span factory building with a bent structure. In the southern one there are small red brick buildings with timber trusses and brick bearing walls. Considering the structural characteristics of the original fabrics, we concentrated the education camps, conference rooms and restaurants in the northern area, and accommodations in the southern one.
