The project "Home in High Latitude," located in Harbin, China, was a renovation project undertaken by hyperCity architects. The house is situated in a large courtyard featuring historic Russian-style eclectic buildings, with the architects aiming to create a contemporary solution that respects this historic context. Originally a small security guard's bungalow measuring only 28.77 square meters, the structure had been expanded over time to serve as a family home. The main challenge for the architects was to satisfy the living needs of a family of three within the limited space while ensuring the renovated structure maintained a respectful dialogue with the surrounding protected buildings. Instead of simply replicating the historical Russian style, the design sought to strike a balance between modern living requirements and the historic neighborhood. To contend with Harbin's famously cold climate, a new foundation was dug two meters below ground to avoid damage from frost expansion in the frozen soil. The project was completed in 2017.

Built in 2019, the Tower for Meditation and Views is a small, off-the-ground structure located within a secluded artist community in Huzhou, Zhejiang, China. Designed by the architecture firm Jumping House Lab, the 12-square-meter tower was conceived as a serene escape from the world, providing artists with a tranquil space for contemplation and observation. The building offers three distinct vistas: a broad view of a paddy field, an upward view of the sky for meditation, and a narrow horizontal view of a yard with pine trees and ponds. To create these different experiences, the architects designed a 3.2 by 3.8-meter wooden structure that is split by an interior wall, dividing the space into an "inward" half for quiet meditation and an "outward" half for taking in the views. The interior is thus separated into a bright and a shady area, each fostering a different atmosphere. The overall appearance and layout of the tower were dictated by the views it frames. The project was completed while the surrounding community was still undergoing renovation, with the project being 80% finished. The architects noted that this flaw reflected the distance between the ideal and reality, but also contributed to the tower's status as an absolute spiritual space. The design is simple, elevated, and intended to help visitors reconnect with nature. Credits Architects: Jumping House Lab Photographs: Zhi Xia
