The Renovation of Ankang Library

The original Ankang Library was opened in 1984, and it’s facilities had fallen behind the information age before the renovation. The renovation project has rejuvenated the old library into a new, open and welcoming community space, highlighting and creating a strong contrast with its existing context. Since opening, the new library has reactivated the cultural life of the local community, and the number of daily visitors has increased from 10 people to 3,000 people.

Rachel

Rachel House was designed to ensure an open environment for the family to interact and enjoy the central water courtyard on the ground level while maintaining their privacy on the upper floor bedrooms. The clean and modern facade is derived from juxtaposing bedroom cubes where one can enjoy framed views out into the lush oriental-themed landscape garden. The ground floor spaces open into the tranquility of the courtyard and the sound of flowing water.

Hidden and surprising notes of a contemporary architectural orchestra, that listens to the spaces and interprets them with the aim of giving voice to a communicative, dialoguing works through the acute ear of the architect, are the keystone of this private luxury residence. The main purpose is to set an intriguing discourse with the context characterized by the medieval walls of the ancient medieval city of Cittadella in Italy and the two brick blades that protect the interior toward the garden.
