X House was originally a mixed pseudo-European building with various decorations and materials on the outside. Due to the accumulation of changes over the years, the spatial structure of the existing building is chaotic, and the interior has insufficient natural lighting and natural ventilation. FAR WORKSHOP FINDS ORDER FROM AN EXISTING STRUCTURE. A modern classic feel is revealed through the emphasis on the facing columns. The designers also tried to simplify the building by unifying materials — bricks, returning the architecture to a pure expression of spatial structure.

The shear wall structure with a diagonal position is designed to support the upper tier and roof, rather than traditional pillars. The diagonal wall intersects with the orthogonal wall to form a gap opening, making the space transparent and light as a whole. The interior design once again emphasizes the concept of “order”. SIMILAR TO THE MATERIAL STRATEGY FOR EXTERIOR WALLS, FAR WORKSHOP TRIES TO MINIMIZE THE USE OF INTERIOR MATERIALS, BUT TRIES TO REVEAL THE LOGIC OF THE BUILDING THROUGH SHADOW GAPS TO REVEAL THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN COLUMNS AND FLOORS, WALLS AND CEILINGS.

The organization of space is centered on an atrium with natural light. FAR WORKSHOP DIVIDES A PORTION OF THE INTERIOR SPACE INTO A SEMI-OPEN SPACE, ENRICHING THE SPACE EXPERIENCE WITH STREAMLINES THAT INTEGRATE THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR. Five different sized and functional courtyards are inserted into the low-rise space to achieve natural lighting and ventilation. In addition, the courtyard also brings interior and exterior views.
