FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Easy Arch, a group of young architects committed to revitalizing old properties in urban core areas, has unveiled the Hutong Neighborhood Complex, a groundbreaking project in Beijing, China. This innovative space, located near the famous Prince Gong's residence, breathes new life into the traditional Hutong neighborhood, integrating a coffee shop, art space, community living room, and more. The project aims to redefine urban micro-renewal and reclaim the essence of Hutong culture.
The Hutong Neighborhood Complex is a two-floor building, with the first floor transformed into a community living room and the second floor into a back garden. The design seamlessly blends modern elements with the historical charm of the old house, creating a vibrant and dynamic space for residents and visitors alike.

With a focus on community engagement, the Hutong Neighborhood Complex serves as a hub for various activities, from coffee gatherings and shared office spaces to art exhibitions and free services for the elderly. The project's strategic location near a tourist area ensures a steady flow of visitors, contributing to the vibrant and inclusive atmosphere of the space.
