The beginning
Why was it built here?
Hudec designed this 1932 house on South Wulumuqi Road below Hengshan Road. No. 64 identifies the historic building; the community venue is called 66 Wutong Courtyard. Read the two addresses together.[1]
After conservation, the house accommodates reading, meetings and neighbourhood activities. Its transition from residence to communal sitting room changes who can use it and brings its rooms back into local daily life.[1]
Look up, then look closer
Details worth a closer look
Massing and façade
Steep red-tiled roofs, gables and decorative timbering are legible from the street. Brick and dark timber strips articulate floors and window groups.[1]
Space and details
Different roof heights and projections give the house a domestic scale. The 2015 photograph records an earlier use and furnishing state, not today’s arrangement.[1]
