ZS03 Zhou Shan House of Dreams Phase 3 2020

The House of Dreams is a rural development and training facility constructed in Zhou Shan village in Henan, stage one was completed in 2018 with stage 2 completion in August 2020. Zhou Shan village is a former cave village in the loess plateau area and has many derelict caves that remained after people relocated and rebuilt their houses on former farmlands above the caves during the last few decades. These changes to the village settlements diminished both socio-cultural abilities and damaged the patrimony of the area, so restoration and revitalization of these abandoned caves towards shared community benefit was determined through intensive community engagement to be a mutually beneficial endeavor.
