Originally built as a wax-mould forming shed for the car factory complex which it sits in, the little brick cottage is blessed with over 200sqm of flat land to its front and back. The architects filled the front yard with rows of rose varieties, paying homage to Beijing’s City Flower.
A brick-laid driveway leads the traffic both the glass entry also connects to the southern patio. Flowering plants and evergreens surround the sun-drenched patio, providing a secluded and nature-filled break out space.
Over the past decade, the garden has hosted various community events, Kinfolk’s first ever “Gathering” in China, seed and seedling-sharing on Arbor Days, floral design workshops, weddings and receptions for dear friends, and countless barbeques and picnics. More integrations with the community are expected in hope to establish a rooted relationship with its neighbourhood.
