"The house is located at the head of the Nangou Valley near the Great Wall at Badaling, North of Beijing.
The site, which slopes steeply towards the north, is
relatively exposed.
To maximize views to the prominent Great Wall and solar exposure in the continental temperate climate, a north-south orientation is adopted. It will be possible to see the great wall from all major spaces within the dwelling whilst seated. One of the essential components of luxury is choice and the dwelling is provided with multiple entrances, all with equal status, whilst each room is differentiated by the provision of unique amenities."
