Modern Translation of GuanZhong Narrow Courtyard

Abstract: Guanzhong narrow courtyard is a traditional architecture form of family house in Guanzhong area in China. This project will be dedicated to my grandmother.  She used to live in such house for decades. Although she has moved to city long ago, she is still missing the life in such narrow courtyard house. Unfortunately the old house has been teared down just like most of them in Guanzhong area. So I would like to design a new house for her and explore a way to translate the traditional architecture form into a modern building.
