House J sits in the western mountains of Beijing, China, where Atelier About Architecture reshapes a long-familiar house into a layered retreat for a scattered family. The freestanding house reworks its original shell into a series of gardens, halls, and rooms that hold changing generations together while keeping everyday life quietly independent. Light, topography, and an enduring courtyard structure the project’s new rhythm of return.

Residence LL is a multi-story house overlooking a lakeside view in southwestern China. Designed by Atelier About Architecture in 2023, the home spans roughly 500 square meters. Aiming to create a peaceful retreat, the architects addressed structural, spatial, and lighting challenges, using innovative materials like crushed marble and terrazzo.
