清华大学图书馆“老馆”是主要的灵感来源，旨在用公共建筑内部的设计手法，让这个新家唤起美好的校园回忆，更能成为不断启迪两位优秀学者的私人殿堂。设计师拆除了房屋内部的所有轻体隔墙，并剥掉了红砖墙上的厚厚的涂层，露出红砖初始的模样，这为布局优化提供了直观的依据。两种肌理的墙面材料分别参照了老图书馆的灰色水刷石和米黄色大理石，通过精巧的划分和组合，构建出具有历史感和力量感的不同体块和空间，红砖墙和新建隔墙消解在其中。在整个空间中感受不到门的存在，所有的洞口都是由不同的体块“自然”形成。墙面上方被特意涂刷了白色，这种材质上的分离会更直观的展现下方体块的支撑感；其统一的高度则暗示着图书馆式的秩序感。
The Old Library of Tsinghua University was the primary source of inspiration for design. The designers aimed to evoke cherished campus memories and create a private sanctuary that would continue to inspire two outstanding scholars. The designers removed all the lightweight walls and stripped away the thick layers on the red brick walls, revealing its original texture, which provided a clear basis for optimizing the layout. The new materials, with their two distinct textures, were inspired by the gray washed stone and beige marble of the Old Library. Through elaborate segmentation and combination, the designers shaped new geometries and spaces that conveyed both a sense of history and strength, where the red brick walls and new partitions were hidden. Throughout the space, the presence of traditional doors is barely felt. All the openings are “naturally” formed by the different geometries, creating a harmonious flow. The upper parts on the walls are painted white, creating a material separation that visually enhances the sense of support beneath. Their unified height subtly suggests a library-like sense of order.
