Cousin · Beijing

siheyuan

A traditional Chinese residence of four inward-facing halls around a quiet courtyard.

Behind blank grey brick walls along Beijing's hutongs, the siheyuan arranges north, south, east, and west pavilions around a planted court, giving privacy, winter sunlight, and summer shade.
