This small courtyard is located in a hutong in Beijing, where the client lived with her grandparents when she was a child. However, the house has been dilapidated due to years of wandering. The purpose of this renovation is to create a living space suitable for the modern lifestyle for the client. Mirror glass is used on the ground and walls of the yard.
