Yimeng Cloud House is a boutique hostel with 19 rooms in 2 levels, in a total built area of around 1,233 square meters. The project sits in Mount Yimeng, taking ‘cloud’ as the overall imagery which can evoke multiple associations. Wandering Spatial Structure The layout of interior courtyard forms a shortcut for walking along the interior circle, which is extended multidimensionally by the openings to the four sides and the stairs in them leading to different levels, in all forming an accessible yet endless wandering path in the site.This circulation has connected several spaces at different levels. Blurred Boundary The squared footprint derived from the contextual analysis of the village and the site forms a regular exterior interface, which then leads to a regular interior boundary. However, in terms of spatial relationship, the design resolves this regularity by breaking up the boundary and dealing with the sections in different directions, eventually forming a blurred spatial boundary. ‘Lightness’ and ‘Heaviness’ in Form The building volume is divided into the upper and lower parts by a clear horizontal line on the street façade slightly lower than the second floor. Above the line is a white volume of ‘lightness’, while below is a continuous long wall with the entrance as the only opening. The wall is rough in texture and dim in colour, forming the visual ‘heaviness’ in contrast with the white building volume above. Representation of Material The building is consisted of two floors. The upper volume is mainly white coated, and the lower supplemented by locally sourced granite and partially decorated with red brick.Along the interior courtyard and stairs, fine curved perforated aluminum panels are adopted to form a ‘cloud-like’ light quality of the courtyard.
