Folding Roof Courtyard by MAT Office
Located in Beijing, China, Folding Roof Courtyard is an information center designed by MAT Office. The project incorporates a folding roof, opening the building to its surroundings and creating a unique spatial experience in the ongoing redesign of a traditional northern farmhouse. The focus of the design is on the integration of local materials as well as the use of construction techniques familiar to local craftsmen, maintaining the power of the mountainous countryside.
