項目位于北京大柵欄地區的排子胡同，原本是一座單進四合院。改造的目的是升級現代生活所需的必要基礎設施，將這處曾經以居住功能為主的傳統小院兒轉變為北京內城一處有吸引力的公共活動場所。

1、規整格局之下的扭動。

改變原本四合院的莊重、刻板的印象，營造開放、活躍的院落生活氛圍。基于已有院落格局，利用起伏的地面連接室內外高差并延伸至房屋內部扭曲成為墻和頂，讓內外空間產生新的動態關聯。隱于曲墻之內的是廚房、衛生間、庫房等必要的服務性空間；顯于曲墻之外的會客、餐飲空間與庭院連接成為一個整體。室內外地面均采用灰磚鋪就，院中原有的一顆山楂樹也被保留在扭動的景觀之中。

2、使用模式之間的扭轉。

小院兒的使用主要作為城市公共活動空間，同時也保留了居住的可能性。四間房屋可被隨時租用來進行休閑、會談、聚會等公共活動；同時也可以做為帶有三間臥室的家庭旅舍。整合式家具用來滿足空間場景的這種彈性切換。東西廂房在原有木框架下嵌入了家具盒子。木質地臺暗藏升降桌面，既可作為茶室空間，也可以作為臥室來使用。北側正房也設有翻床家具墻體和分隔軟簾，同樣可以滿足這種多用需求。

院子是“四合院”這種建筑類型生活樂趣的核心所在。而“扭院兒”就是在維持已有房屋結構不變的條件下，通過局部關系的微調改變院落空間的氣質并滿足多樣的使用，讓傳統小院兒能夠與時俱進的融入到當代城市生活之中。

Twisting courtyard is located in Paizihutong, Dashilar Area, Beijing. It used to be a Siheyuan with one single entry. The purpose of the improvement is to upgrade the necessary infrastructure needed for modern life,thus turning this traditional courtyard, which mainly serve as a residence, into an attractive public space of Beijing Inner City.

1. Twist within regular layout.

The design aims at getting rid of the solemn and stereotyped impression given by Siheyuan, and creating an open and active living atmosphere. Based on the existing layout of the courtyard, the undulated fl oor is used to connect indoor and outdoor spaces of di ff erent height. And it is extended to the inside of the house,twisting into walls and roof, thus creating dynamic connection between inside and outside space. What's hidden within the curved wall is necessary auxiliary spaces such as kitchen, toilet and warehouse; while reception and dinning spaces are shown outside the curved wall and connect to the courtyard as a whole.Both indoor and outdoor fl oors are paved with gray brick. A hawthorn tree in the courtyard is kept and being part of the twisting landscape.

2. Twist between patterns of utilization.

The small yard is mainly used as urban public space while maintaining the possibility of using as a residence.The four houses can be rented for public events for purposes such as recreation, meeting and gathering.Meanwhile, they could be served as a family hostel with three bedrooms. Integrated furniture is used to enable the fl exible switch of space scenes. Furniture boxes are inserted into the existing wood frames of east and west wings. Wood platform with lifting table hidden inside could be used as tearoom or bedroom. Bed wall and partitive soft curtain are also used in the main room on the north to meet multiple use requirements.

For building type “Siheyuan”, the courtyard is the core of living fun. "Twisting courtyard" makes microadjustment to relations between the parts to change the temperament of the courtyard space and to meet requirements of multiple use without changing the existing housing structure, making the traditional courtyard up-to-date and being integrated into modern urban life.
