Located in Beijing, China, designed by Archstudio in 2024, Lei Homestay is a hotel that organizes its architectural design around three trees, forming two well-proportioned courtyards that bring in ample sunlight and views of seasonal changes. The main structure is crafted from glued laminated timber, which, beneath the double-pitched roof, supports a variety of staggered platform spaces, evoking the sensation of living amidst a forest.
The Green House, located in Palo Alto, CA, United States, is a house designed in 2023 by S^A | Schwartz and Architecture. The project expands a 1966 home, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright’s protégé, by 1,512 square feet, incorporating a sunken family room, inspired additions, and numerous windows framing the iconic roof. The team worked under a guiding principle of “do no harm” while respecting the design integrity of the space, promising a friendship between old and new.
