A home before it is a cultural space
Family memory, old Beijing architecture and present-day life continue in the same courtyard.
01
In 2003, Jing Jichang and Wang Zhixi repaired the home while preserving its traditional ‘awning, fish bowl and pomegranate tree’ character. The courtyard remains personal: every visit begins with the people who live here.
02
The home begins its long relationship with the lanes and waters around Shichahai.
Traditional structure and everyday courtyard character are carefully brought back to life.
The courtyard welcomes international journalists and visitors during the Beijing Olympics.
Private visits, creative work and conversation continue—one group at a time.
03
The moon gate frames movement, the screen wall protects the inner home, and each plant carries a blessing. With the family as guide, these details become a map of Beijing values and daily life.
