序｜Preface
生生不息｜Life Ever-Flourishing

循着山野的脉络走，重拾“生”之向往。周洛芸溪谷，选址中国浏阳腹地连绵起伏的丘陵褶皱里，静嵌于周洛大峡谷旁的原生山野间。初到项目现场，我们被背倚苍翠层叠的山峦，顺着地势绵延舒展肌理的自然禀赋所感动。四方或是山林，或是梯田，顺山谷等高线曲折游走，面面皆不同，山、谷、溪、林，在此交织成浑然一体的自然野趣场域。这片土地赋予我们最强的感受在于：它不是为了震撼你而存在，而是为了容纳你而存在；这是浏阳周洛，独有的温润与厚重。回观我们的生活，在高速运转的现代，某种关于“生”的细腻感知正在变得迟钝；而不断追求体验的，仅仅是高品质的“活”。当效率成为标尺，我们习惯了将自然视为屏幕里的风景，将生活切割为精准的日程而非体验。在这线性的生存管道中兜转时，我们不经意间忽略了对自我的接纳，淡忘了食物原本的来处，也疏远了身体与泥土、风、阳光之间那种原始的温热联系。而当我们把生活二字解构后，你看到了什么？生，是存在的感知；活，是生存的静滞。于是，围绕着“生”之重塑的营造，我们记录了这一场峡谷深处的蜕变。周洛芸溪谷的尝试，正是为了回应这份久违的渴望。我们无欲征服或重塑自然，而是以哲学的自觉，把建筑还原成土地的一部分——让它像山间的草木一样，顺着等高线呼吸，随着季节更迭。这既是美学的回归，也是人文的修补。我们保留老宅的斑驳，是为记忆寻得一处容器；我们释放新建筑的张力，是为心灵搁放，寻得一处支点。在这里，生，不是宏大的概念，而是具体的动作，是修复一块被扰动的土地，是等待一束光穿过落地窗，是让生活重新找回与天地同频的节奏。这便是我们理解的生生不息——不是野蛮拓疆，而是安静滋长。

Following the veins of the mountains and wilderness, we rediscover our longing for “life.”Nestled deep within the rolling hills of Liuyang, China, Yunxi Valley sits quietly beside the raw mountain wilderness of the Zhouluo Grand Canyon. On our first visit, we were moved by the lush, tiered peaks at its back and the natural rhythm of the land as it unfolded along the contours of the terrain. All around are forests or terraced fields, winding along the valley’s contour lines—each view unique—where mountains, valleys, streams, and woods weave together into a seamless tapestry of wild beauty. What struck us most about this land is that it does not exist to astonish you, but to embrace you. This is the distinctive gentleness and depth of Zhouluo in Liuyang. Looking back at our lives, in this age of high-speed motion, our subtle perception of “being alive” has dulled; what we pursue now is merely a high-quality way of “living.” When efficiency becomes the measure, we grow accustomed to seeing nature only through screens, and life becomes segmented schedules rather than lived experiences. Moving through these linear pipelines of survival, we unconsciously neglect self-acceptance, forget where our food truly comes from, and drift away from the primal warmth between our bodies and the earth, wind, and sunlight. When we deconstruct the word “life,” what do you see? Sheng is the awareness of existence; Huo is the stillness of mere survival. Thus, centering on the reconstruction of “life,” we documented this transformation deep within the canyon. The endeavor of Yunxi Valley is an answer to this long-missed yearning. We have no desire to conquer or reshape nature; instead, with philosophical intent, we return architecture to being part of the land—allowing it to breathe along the contour lines like the plants of the mountain, shifting with the seasons. This is both a return to aesthetics and a restoration of humanity. We preserve the weathered traces of the old residence to give memory a vessel; we release the tension of new structures to offer the soul a place to rest.Here, life is not a grand abstraction, but a tangible act: mending a disturbed patch of soil, waiting for a beam of light to pass through a French window, allowing life to rediscover its rhythm in harmony with the heavens and the earth. This is our understanding of “life ever-flourishing”—not a savage expansion, but a quiet growth.

第一章｜生之根基
Chapter One｜The Foundation of Life

建筑从未打断山脉的起伏，像匍匐于山坡之上的藤蔓。周洛芸溪谷一期，建筑依循山形走向层层错落，如原生林木栖落在不同标高的台地之上，建筑单体的标高系统都直接对话于原始地形与梯田的起伏。从手绘等高线分析图到建成后的航拍俯瞰，我们可以看到整个建筑群像是山体的一次自然呼吸，其形态与土地肌理高度吻合——这不仅是物理层面的嵌入，更是一种能量流动的承接与对话。

Architecture never interrupts the rise and fall of the mountains; it lies upon the slopes like vines creeping along the hillside. In the first phase of Yunxi Valley, the buildings cascade along the contours of the mountain, like native trees resting on terraces at different elevations. Each structure’s height directly converses with the undulating terrain and terraced fields. From hand-drawn contour analyses to post-completion aerial views, the entire complex appears as a natural breath of the mountain, its form seamlessly aligned with the texture of the land. This is more than physical integration—it is an acceptance and dialogue of energy flow.

“生”的第一重对话：建筑与这片土地，同频的呼吸。建筑，是从地貌中生长出来的秩序。没有强加的形式，只有对山势起伏的触感。面对一片倾斜起伏的坡地，我们没有做大范围的平整与大开大挖，转而以等高线作为设计最原初的语言。我们想做到的是：拒绝让建筑成为山体上的异物，而是像一条匍匐于大地之上的藤蔓，沿着山脊的天然轮廓舒展身躯。老宅部分修旧如旧，毗邻的新建筑与之形成脉络连接，让建筑前场的平台从陡峭的岩壁上生长出来，以数米高的架空支柱层将体量轻轻托起，让雨水与山风自由穿行其下。这些独立的点状基础支撑替代大面积开挖的同时，也让原有土层的渗流路径得以保留，顺着等高线方向逐级退台，既化解了高差，又为小型植被与昆虫预留了缝隙。

The first dialogue of “life”: architecture and the land breathing in unison.Architecture is order grown from the landform. There is no imposed form—only the tactile sensation of the mountain’s rise and fall. Confronted with sloping terrain, we avoided large-scale leveling or excavation, choosing instead to use contour lines as the primal language of design. Our aim was to prevent the buildings from becoming alien objects on the mountain, allowing them instead to sprawl like vines along the ridge’s natural outline.The old residence was restored faithfully to its original state, while adjacent new structures formed a connected lineage with it. The forecourt platforms emerge from steep rock faces, elevated by tall stilts so that rain and mountain winds can pass freely beneath. These independent point foundations replaced extensive excavation, preserving the original soil infiltration pathways. Terraces step down along the contour lines, resolving elevation changes while leaving gaps for small plants and insects.

第二章｜生之呼吸
Chapter Two｜The Breath of Life

建立一种松散的连接，允许视线与气流的贯通，使封闭的各个单体转化为具有呼吸性的群落。周洛芸溪谷首开组团，由碧琳琅会所、民宿酒店、江氏老宅、餐厅配套组成，沿山脊腰线上有序衔接。设计要点梳理后，我们认为有如下难点：沿山脊散布的单体，如何建立空间秩序？新旧建筑衔接，如何权重遗存与当代？多重业态，如何实现体验流线的丝滑？房间视野与建筑立面关系，如何平衡？如何实现建筑、人、自然的共生呼吸？

A loose connection allows sightlines and airflow to penetrate, transforming enclosed units into a breathing community. The initial cluster consists of the Bilinlang Club, boutique hotel, Jiang Family Old House, and supporting dining facilities, linked orderly along the mid-slope of the ridge. Key design challenges emerged: How to establish spatial order among scattered units? How to balance heritage and modernity in connecting old and new structures? How to ensure smooth experiential flow across diverse programs? How to harmonize room views with façade relationships? How to achieve symbiotic breathing between architecture, people, and nature?

▼建筑与环境之间的对话，the dialogue between the building and the environment © 肖湘·廖鲁

因此，面对分散的既有建筑与复杂的地形高差，设计采用织补策略，将独立的功能模块串联为一个连续的步行系统。“生”的第二重对话：建筑在此，被视为一种调节人与自然距离与呼吸的工具。酒店会所空间体量，如枝桠般从老基址的轮廓中横向延展而出，钢构与玻璃的轻透，反衬着老墙屋檐的厚重，两者之间刻意留出的间隙，让时间的断层清晰可辨。

Thus, faced with dispersed existing buildings and complex elevation changes, we adopted a weaving strategy, linking independent functional modules into a continuous pedestrian system. The second dialogue of “life”: here, architecture is seen as a tool to modulate the distance and breath between humans and nature. The clubhouse volume extends laterally from the outline of the old foundation like branches, its steel-and-glass lightness contrasting with the weight of the old eaves. A deliberate gap between them makes the fault line of time clearly visible.

前坪的山石与水景，并未被限定在传统园林的装饰范畴内，而是作为原生地貌的延伸，直接楔入建筑基座。设计有意模糊了室内外的标高差，让室内外地坪趋于齐平，消除了物理上的阻隔。立面的窗与墙的关系被重新定义，窗不再是建筑立面上的景框，而是人与周洛峡谷交换气息的呼吸界面，用于调节人与自然的亲疏距离。

The stone and water features in the forecourt are not confined to traditional garden ornamentation, but extend as part of the native landscape directly into the building’s base. Intentionally blurring indoor-outdoor level differences, the floors inside and out are nearly flush, erasing physical barriers. The relationship between windows and walls is redefined: windows are no longer mere frames on a façade, but breathing interfaces through which people exchange breath with the Zhouluo Canyon, adjusting their proximity to nature.

现代型材的特点，决定了我们可通过极致的消隐与利落的框景，将山风、流云、林海引入室内。正是通过这种极致的风景流动的通道建设，让人在自然中，重新找到与之呼吸脉动的节奏。

The properties of modern framing allow us to dissolve visual boundaries and create crisply framed views, drawing mountain breezes, drifting clouds, and forest seas into the interior. By constructing such极致 channels for landscape flow, people rediscover their rhythmic breathing in harmony with nature.

第三章｜生之年轮
Chapter Three｜Growth Rings of Life

老屋是新空间依附的年轮，它们界定了场所的原点，让后续的加建成为一种顺理成章的生长，而非生硬的覆盖。场地上的老屋基址，是时间遗落的种子。设计有意保留了通往酒店会所路径上的这一视线节点，让抵达者首先经过这老屋。

The old house serves as the growth ring to which new spaces attach; it defines the origin of the site, making subsequent additions a natural extension rather than a forced overlay.The foundation of the old house on site is a seed left behind by time. We intentionally preserved this visual node along the path to the club, ensuring that visitors first pass by the old dwelling.

那熟悉的屋脊轮廓，不仅是周洛原住民居的原型，更是此地人文记忆的物理载体。当这种年轮向前向后双向延伸，新建的酒店建筑便不再是孤立的闯入者，而是有了可以依附的血肉与骨骼。“生”的第三重对话：过去与现在的对话，凝固在共生的年轮里。

That familiar roofline is not only the prototype of Zhouluo’s indigenous homes, but also the physical vessel of local cultural memory. As this growth ring extends both forward and backward in time, the newly built hotel is no longer an isolated intruder, but gains flesh and bone to lean upon. The third dialogue of “life”: a conversation between past and present, solidified within coexisting growth rings.

面对这片残存的建筑，设计并未选择推倒重来，而是以一种近乎考古的耐心，在旧日的骨架上嫁接新生。裸露的木梁与采光窗，是新空间依附的年轮——它们界定了场所的原点，如同年轮的初始，让后续的加建成为一种顺理成章的生长，而非生硬的覆盖。

Confronted with these remnants, we chose not to demolish and start over, but to graft new life onto the old framework with something akin to archaeological patience. Exposed wooden beams and daylight openings become the growth rings to which the new space clings—anchoring the site’s origin, like the first ring of a tree, so that later additions feel inevitable rather than imposed.

▼裸露的木梁与采光窗，exposed wooden beams and daylight openings © 肖湘·廖鲁

这是一种在记忆中生长的脉络。新与旧在时间的轴线上相互渗透：老屋的梁柱撑起了空间的尊严，新的会所酒店功能与不锈钢材质则填补了岁月的缝隙。光线穿过高窗，在修旧如旧的墙面与全新的地板上划过，物理性地照亮了时间的层积。

This is a vein of growth rooted in memory. New and old permeate each other along the axis of time: the beams and columns of the old house uphold the dignity of space, while the functions of the new club and stainless steel infill bridge the gaps of years. Light passes through tall windows, brushing against restored walls and brand-new floors, physically illuminating the strata of time.

最重要的是，老宅的功能布局与空间形态，皆锚固于过往的生活轨迹。透过老宅堂屋的门洞，仿佛面对一面内观安定的镜子。人置身其中，既是历史的旁观者，也是当下的参与者。旧屋的粗糙与新复原的材质，在同一个空间内共振同频，最终凝结成一段——可栖居的年轮。

Most importantly, the functional layout and spatial form of the old house are anchored in past life patterns. Passing through the central hall’s doorway feels like facing a mirror of inner calm. Here, one is both observer of history and participant in the present. The roughness of the old and the renewed textures resonate in the same space, ultimately condensing into a habitable growth ring.

第四章｜生之肌理
Chapter Four｜The Texture of Life

我们警惕将生之肌理简化为陈旧材料的堆砌与复刻。真正的肌理并非仅存于表皮的触感，而是深植于空间形态与场景流动的秩序之中，那是唯有身体在场才能读懂的温度。老宅庭院的枯荣交替，正是这栋建筑生命中，最生动的肌理延续。冬日的柴扉门，将老宅侧面的庭院收敛为一个内向的壳体。老宅厚重的墙基承接了保温的职能，让庭院在枯寂的景观中维持着恒定的体温。

We caution against reducing the texture of life to a mere pile or replica of aged materials. True texture resides not only in the tactile surface, but deeply within the order of spatial form and the flow of scenes—a temperature readable only when the body is present. The seasonal withering and flourishing in the old courtyard is the most vivid continuation of the building’s living texture. In winter, the wooden gate draws the side courtyard inward like a shell. The thick wall foundation insulates, keeping the courtyard at a constant temperature amid the stark landscape.

冷冽的空气被阻挡在木栅之外，室内溢出的暖光在青石板上投下低色温的剪影，木质纹理在低温中显得愈发致密，触手生温的质感与室外的萧瑟形成精准的反差，让人在亭台屋檐下静坐时，能在静谧中获得一种被结构妥帖承托的安定情绪。

The biting air stays outside the lattice, while warm indoor light casts low-color-temperature silhouettes on the bluestone slabs. Wood grain appears denser in the cold, its touch conveying warmth that sharply contrasts the bleak outdoors. Sitting quietly beneath the eaves, one finds a tranquil reassurance, securely held by the structure.

春雨过后，庭院成为老宅与外部生态交换的缓冲带。柴扉敞开，像允许新发的藤蔓与湿润的风渗入既定的空间秩序。此时，空间的情绪在于框景与破景的博弈——老宅的木构窗线条严谨地切割着画面，而肆意生长的绿意则试图软化这些边界。这种若即若离的自然渗透，让内庭成为了连接居住与自然的最佳媒介。

After the spring rains, the courtyard becomes a buffer zone exchanging energy with the external ecology. The gate opens, letting fresh vines and damp breezes seep into the established spatial order. The mood lies in the interplay between framing and breaking the view—the precise lines of the old wooden windows cut the picture, while unrestrained greenery softens those edges. This tenuous infiltration turns the inner court into the perfect medium linking dwelling and nature.

▼框景与破景的博弈，the interplay between framing and breaking the view © 肖湘·廖鲁

盛夏，庭院化作一片深色的阴凉。茂密的冠冕在檐上投下浓重的阴影，将刺目的阳光过滤为柔和的漫射光。厚重的墙体吸收了昼间的辐射，在入夜后释放出干燥的余温。空气在木梁与石阶之间流动，皮肤感知到的每一次降温，都是建筑构造对气候的智慧回应。人隐于这层深色的滤镜之后，在绝对的静谧中，完成身体与酷暑的和解。

In midsummer, the courtyard becomes a canopy of deep shade. Dense foliage casts heavy shadows over the eaves, filtering harsh sunlight into gentle diffusion. The thick walls absorb daytime heat, releasing dry warmth after nightfall. Air flows between beams and stone steps; each cooling sensation perceived by skin is the architecture’s intelligent response to climate. Hidden behind this dark filter, one reconciles body and summer in absolute stillness.

餐厅区域的设计，在此捕捉了诗词中黄昏归家这一特定时刻的场景肌理。压低屋檐，利用深檐与落座休憩区域的视觉触感变化，再通过粗粝石板到温润木作的过渡——引导身体完成归家就餐这一行为的暗示。

The restaurant’s design captures the textural scene of returning home at dusk, as depicted in poetry. Lowering the eaves alters the tactile visual experience of seating areas; the transition from rough stone slabs to warm wood guides the body toward the implied ritual of coming home to dine.

这些诗句所描述的动词，才是我们想表达的肌理，或者说心灵被触碰后留下的物理性刻痕。它像一幅引导身体沉静下来的触感地图，在空间中逐级展开。当落座在屋檐下，当推开一扇木质的窗，一种松弛而清醒的在场感便悄然滋生。

The verbs described in these poems are the texture we wish to express—physical imprints left when the soul is touched. Like a tactile map guiding the body into stillness, they unfold gradually in space. Sitting beneath the eaves, pushing open a wooden window, a relaxed yet alert sense of presence quietly arises.

最终章｜生息与共
Final Chapter｜Life in Symbiosis

这不仅是一次空间的营造，更是一场生命能量的流动。当设计消隐于地景，唯有山峦的轮廓、光影的流转与内心的获得在此共生共息。在周洛芸溪谷，“生”不是一个名词，不是一种静止的状态，而是一个持续发生的动态过程。生，是建筑顺应地势的生长，是时间向当下的生长，是风景向生活肌理的生长，也是心灵向内在安宁的生长。

This is not merely the creation of space, but a flow of life energy. When design recedes into the landscape, only the outline of the mountains, the play of light and shadow, and the harvest within remain in coexistence. At Yunxi Valley, “life” is not a noun or a static state—it is an ongoing dynamic process. Life is architecture growing in harmony with terrain, time extending into the present, scenery merging into the fabric of daily life, and the soul growing toward inner peace.

我们从不止于建造一处酒店或者说居所，更试图营造一个生命能量可以自然流动、自由呼吸的场域。当设计悄然退隐为背景，让位于山峦起伏的轮廓、光影流转的痕迹、风向柔软的流动与内心深处最轻微的震颤——这，便是我们所理解并践行的：生息与共。这条从土地深处萌发的生长线索，正在山谷中，静候人们的抵达。

We aim beyond building a hotel or dwelling; we seek to create a field where life energy flows naturally and breathes freely. When design quietly withdraws into the background, yielding to the contours of the mountains, the traces of shifting light, the gentle movement of the wind, and the faintest tremor within—this is what we understand and practice as life in symbiosis. This thread of growth, sprouting from deep within the earth, waits silently in the valley for people to arrive.
