Beijing\u2013based architecture firm hyperSity had their work cut out for them in trying to preserve the original structure, which was uninhabitable and nearly collapsing. <\/p>\n<p>As you can see below:<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn1.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/072118\/cave-01.jpg\" alt=\"Cave Dwelling\" width=\"960\" height=\"auto\" border=\"0\" data-gae=\"Magazine, Clicked, Image\" \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn1.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/072118\/cave-02.jpg\" alt=\"Cave Dwelling\" width=\"960\" height=\"auto\" border=\"0\" data-gae=\"Magazine, Clicked, Image\" \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\nThe site originally consisted of a large barrel-vaulted cave in the back and a front courtyard which contained a cluster of three smaller properties. Plans show that to start the transformation, the architects decided to keep the cave portion but demolish the original courtyard structure entirely, replacing it with multiple customizable volumes designed to create a tranquil and traditional ambience. They&#8217;d also need to rebuild the perimeter wall for both structural support as well as privacy. Rammed-earth construction would be used throughout to reflect local customs.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn1.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/072118\/cave-03.jpg\" alt=\"Cave Dwelling\" width=\"960\" height=\"auto\" border=\"0\" data-gae=\"Magazine, Clicked, Image\" \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn1.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/072118\/cave-26.jpg\" alt=\"Cave Dwelling\" width=\"960\" height=\"auto\" border=\"0\" data-gae=\"Magazine, Clicked, Image\" \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\nThe finished product resulted in five new living spaces now inhabiting the courtyard, such as a kitchen, dining room, bathroom, and a few bedrooms. The vaulted cave section was preserved as a separate living space, divided into a bedroom and living room, and renovated to be well-ventilated, bright and airy, with an extraordinary skylight feature. Sand and clay sourced from the neighboring mountains helped to keep costs down and assist in keeping the home\u2019s temperature regulated during the changing seasons.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 960px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn1.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/072118\/cave-04.jpg\" alt=\"Cave Dwelling\" width=\"960\" height=\"auto\" border=\"0\" data-gae=\"Magazine, Clicked, Image\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The exterior courtyard and entrance to the main cave.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"width: 960px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn1.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/072118\/cave-06.jpg\" alt=\"Cave Dwelling\" width=\"960\" height=\"auto\" border=\"0\" data-gae=\"Magazine, Clicked, Image\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The main entrance of the cave is a wooden grid fa\u00e7ade with a glass curtain wall.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"width: 960px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn1.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/072118\/cave-07.jpg\" alt=\"Cave Dwelling\" width=\"960\" height=\"auto\" border=\"0\" data-gae=\"Magazine, Clicked, Image\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The timber screen allows natural light to enter while still maintaining a sense of privacy.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"width: 960px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn1.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/072118\/cave-13.jpg\" alt=\"Cave Dwelling\" width=\"960\" height=\"auto\" border=\"0\" data-gae=\"Magazine, Clicked, Image\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A circular glass skylight was implemented in the middle of the cave to form a light-filled tunnel.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"width: 960px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn1.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/072118\/cave-12.jpg\" alt=\"Cave Dwelling\" width=\"960\" height=\"auto\" border=\"0\" data-gae=\"Magazine, Clicked, Image\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Through the light tunnel, there&#8217;s a bedroom for the client&#8217;s grandmother.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"width: 960px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn1.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/072118\/cave-10.jpg\" alt=\"Cave Dwelling\" width=\"960\" height=\"auto\" border=\"0\" data-gae=\"Magazine, Clicked, Image\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Traditional furniture helps connect the house with the past.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\nWe were initially drawn to the cave portion, but found ourselves just as enamored with what was done in the courtyard.
