The Chinese urban housing, in its various forms, represents a mastery of cohesion between lifestyle, aesthetic and symbols. Today Asian urban housing has a strong tendency to develop western oriented model without incorporating traditional knowledge.
Through Chinese history the pattern of courtyard houses is recurring and evolved with needs. The Beijing courtyard house is a major example while being referenced in the modern era. This adaptation over time is related to a provision of sustainable basic spaces.
The purpose of this study is to show the perspective of the development of modern Chinese style in interior design. A literature review provides the identification of the spaces disposition and the symbolism of the Beijing courtyard houses. The review of a significant courtyard house highlights its spatial characteristics through modern interior design factors. It focuses on seven main elements: space planning, human scale, colors, materials, lighting, furniture, and ornamentation. All this concepts are then tested in an actual apartment in order to be consistent with Chinese tradition and modernism.
The traditional Chinese architecture is based on three factors: environmental, sociocultural and functional. Development of modern Chinese style is based on the essence of Chinese tradition and attempt to find a practical approach to revitalize and create continuity. Considering the results obtained, the redefinition of Chinese style imposes three approaches: historical, cultural and sociological.
Here, the design focuses on the reintroduction and the reinterpretation of tradition in a contemporary space. This choice gives a multi-temporal atmosphere. The final result emphasizes the family and its lifestyle, introduced well-being and proximity with exterior environment, respect for the essential elements of Chinese culture, spaces dedicated to meditation, privacy, cults and self-development.
