Hiding House

Hiding House is located in a quiet area in the heart of Shanghai, with a square base and a traditional old house plan, consisting of a house to the north and a courtyard to the south. The architect set out a basic architecture frame with multiple possibilities. A continues surface divided the house into two: living space and service space. At the Southside of the continuous surface, there were a living room serving as an exhibition room and library, a canteen, a master bedroom, a tearoom, a courtyard serving as garden and stage. At the other side was the kitchen, toilet, equipment room and a girl’s room for exhibition purpose. Mezzanine space was designed for services, storage space and living space.
