Two ways into the courtyard

Come as a guest

Meet the family through a courtyard introduction, dumpling lunch or walk through the surrounding hutongs—without being hurried along.

Visit the courtyard

Create with respect

A lived-in Beijing home for photography, film and small gatherings. Every project is considered around the family’s daily life and the care the house requires.

From the family

We open the gate so the life behind it can be understood.

We hope guests do more than look at old bricks. Sit down, drink tea, hear why the moon gate, screen wall and pomegranate tree matter—and meet the everyday Beijing that still lives here.

Discover the story

The courtyard remembers

Guest notes, press clippings and family photographs hold more than two decades of encounters without turning the home into a display case.

Hidden in Shichahai, opened by appointment

The home sits inside a residential hutong near Shichahai. The family confirms every visit personally and shares the exact address and arrival details only before you come.
