中国快速城市化的当下，都市新人的家乡老宅，区别于国外的独栋住宅，成为历史上可能最具有独特性的居住单元。它承载着父辈的乡村生活，同时也必须接纳数个子辈家庭每个节日往来于城市和家乡老宅，如候鸟迁徙。 爷爷的柴米油盐，父母叔伯的家乡，和小朋友的年味，在每个春节时候达到一种饱和式的冲突混合。而这方方面面，都是候鸟之家需要探究的空间本质。在12*10米的基地内，人与人、人与家乡的深层关系都通过感官转化成为各种空间元素。魔方楼梯串联起一楼圆桌大餐厅，二楼立体家庭厅，三楼阳光茶室，最后到达半遮半透的大露台。室外的风景伴随着连续通透的公共空间，步移景异，随便一喊一家人都能听到，每个窗外都是旧时稻田远山，每步楼梯都有小孩的追逐身影。这些画面是设计的核心理念。 生态设计仍然是乡村建筑营造的主旋律，木、石、泥、草，仍然是乡村田舍的原材料，就地取材，也是成本控制的关键，低廉的造价让生态设计具有普适性意义。传统木屋架丰富了建筑细节，吸引燕雀归来；外墙掺入稻草的质感涂料以及当地石材的基座依旧与水田亲近；院子里的菜圃就是鲜活的生活。 一个三代人大家庭旋转在屋檐下庭院间，燕归，人还，看春来。就是中国乡村自建房的生命力。
With rapid urbanization in China today,the old homes of urban newcomers here, unlikeindividualhouses abroad, have become the most unique residential units in history. It carries the rural life of the parents and must also embrace the families of the future generations who will travel between the city and their hometownsat each festival, just like migratory birds. Grandpa's daily life, the hometown of parents and relatives, and children's Spring Festival celebrations reach a saturated yet conflicting mix at each Spring Festival. All these aspects are the nature of space that the homesof migratory birds need to explore. In the 12*10-meter base, the deep relationship between people as well as people and hometown changes to various spatial elements through the senses. The Rubik's Cube-like staircase connects the round dining table on the first floor, the three-dimensional family room on the second floor, the sunny tea room on the third floor, and finally the semi-transparent large terrace. The outdoor scenery is accompanied by continuous and transparent public spaces. As you move, scenery changes and anyone who yells can be heard by others. Outside each window are old rice fields and distant mountains, with children chasing each step of the stairs. These pictures are the core concepts of design. Ecological design still remains the major theme of rural buildings, and wood, stone, mud and grass are still raw materials for rural farmhouses. The traditional wooden roof frame enriches the architectural details, attracting swallows and sparrows; the texture coating of the outer wall mixed with straw and the base of local stone are still close to the paddy field in front of the house; the vegetable garden in the yard represents a lively life. Taking materials locally is the key to cost control, and the low cost makes ecological design universal. A large family of three generations revolves in the courtyard under the eaves. You can see swallows flying and people returning. You can embrace spring as well. This is exactly the vitality of self-built houses in rural China.
