Adaptive Reuse
Somewhere over Shanxi, China… Metaamo is working on several hospitality projects, including an adaptive-reuse of this spectacular 350 year-old rammed earth residential fortress.
We were in China recently, where Matt and Sunny had the pleasure of running a two week, intensive studio workshop @ WHU. With over two dozen students, we focused on the adaptive reuse of an historic campus courtyard building, where proposals blended architecture, urbanism, and building science to bring new life to the forlorn structure.

This past weekend, we were honored to participate in an exhibition at 'Big House' in Wuhan, China, which focused on Adaptive Reuse and Cultural Heritage Protection. 'Big House' is an adaptive reuse project of a former Spin Mill, and now is a gathering place for various events. Here, Matt is being interviewed for a documentary special that will play on Chinese TV and in public spaces in Wuhan. Special thanks to the Non-Profit China Endangered Cultural Protection (CECP), the French Consulate General, the Netherlands Business Support Office (NBSO Wuhan), Wuhan TV, and the Ouyang family (descendents of the original building owners) for all making the event possible.
