Urban Cabinets is a series of housing rehabilitation projects that explore design strategies around the concept of furniture architecture. In each of them, a family of furniture-that-turns-into-spaces configures domesticities halfway between these two scales. The furniture grows, becomes XXL, and is thought architecturally. It values handmade and custom-made materials, artisanally made in small companies, and in whose final execution, different construction trades from both areas will enter into dialogue on-site.

As technology and infrastructure rapidly evolve, a new buzzword finds itself in conversations across industries – innovation. The word is more relevant in light of future-facing challenges such as climate change, inequality, and economic crises.

The owners are a middle-aged couple working in the urban area of Beijing. In 2022, they rented two small houses near Jingdong Grand Canyon in Pinggu, a suburb of Beijing, they wanted to transform the house into a warm, pastoral homestay. In the conversation with the owner, I was deeply impressed by the “Fruit of Life” she mentioned, which is a Japanese documentary about the three meals and four seasons of two couples. Although we have not been to the site, we have already had a general imagination of the design through the early communication. Arriving at the site for the first time, I was attracted by the mountain and surrounding natural environment surrounded by the project. However, the current situation of the original building is not ideal. The two houses are located at the corner of the road, backed by the mountain, and the interior and courtyard Spaces are completely exposed to the view of people when they go down the mountain. The building is a typical northern rural self-built house, and the appearance and functional layout are too rough and simple. How to communicate with the surrounding landscape, create rich Interior and outdoor Spaces, and create a comfortable and natural pastoral space atmosphere has become the focus of the renovation design.
