A 7-metre white-washed wall encloses the living rooms to provide a sense privacy for strangers in Xiyaotou Village, China. 

Designed by Shanghai-based architecture practice Wutopia Lab, the concept of the house takes references from the architect’s early rural experiences in countryside.

Rejecting a view from the four side, the house, named Building 3 for Fortune Art Homestay in Xiyaotou Village, was opened at the end of June 2021 in the village. 

The 225-square-metre house is wrapped by a castle-like wall and includes four other volumes with a small courtyard inspired by typical Chinese courtyards.
