This clubhouse is located in Tianjin’s Chinese traditional downtown, which is already demolished and replaced step by step with new buildings. The club will serve for a low-density residential area where all houses should be in a “new Chinese style” defined by the developer. We searched for a new interpretation of the traditional courtyard architecture, and transformed the residential building typology into a public place, well integrated in its urban context.
