Abstract

This study highlights the transformation of space composition of Kang in conjunction with home renovation and extension influenced by recent lifestyle changes. Pinpointing a cold district in northeast China, the research aims to explore sustainable development within a village and its farmhouses. A key transformation is the shift in Kang usage from a multifunctional space to a mono-functional one. Another included the establishment of entertaining and eating space influenced by changing cooking space with Kamado. In addition, the study uncovered multi-functional differentiation, more specifically, the flexibility to adapt to recent lifestyle while sustaining Kang-centred living.
