About The Mountain View Gemengde-gebruik Kulturele Kompleks

Die Mountain View is 'n gemengde-gebruik kulturele kompleks wat geskep is deur 'n bestaande gebou in Shenzhen, China, te renoveer. Die kompleks beslaan 6 000 vierkante meter en bring 'n winkel, 'n restaurant, 'n kunsgalery, 'n teater en werkruimtes saam. 'n Oop-lug veranda omring die sentrale binnehof en verbind die verskillende areas met mekaar. Reghoekige staalpilare, in 'n matriks gerangskik, ondersteun die veranda. Materiale sluit selfvlakkende sement, weerbestande staal, gelamineerde bamboes, ultra-helder glas en glasbaksteen in. Die gebou bied 'n rustige ruimte vir kulturele geleenthede en sosiale kontak met die natuur en kuns.

Production Technology
Around the central courtyard is an open-air veranda, which not only links different areas but also blends the space into nature. The veranda is supported by rectangular steel pillars, which are arranged in a matrix, endowing the space with a sense of lightness and order. The restaurant floor is covered by various materials including greenery, pebbles, corrosion-resistant wooden panels and cement, to demarcate different functional spaces.
Design Challenge
The design team had to optimize spatial layout to incorporate multiple operations. Besides, many indicators of the old building could no longer meet current standards in China, which posed a huge challenge. To solve this, the design team worked out many corresponding solutions, and kept a close eye on on-site construction, hence obtaining a safe, beautiful building which meets existing standards.
Research
Since completion, a lot of drama festivals, lectures, art exhibitions and events have been held in the building, which has attracted a large number of local citizens. The project is situated in a cultural and creative park where plenty of design studios have settled in. As an artistic and cultural complex, The Mountain View complements the park, and provides urbanites with a "slow space", which enables them to socialize and interact with nature and art.

Operation Flow
Based on the surrounding business environment, the architects decided to carry out transformation and renovation based on three key points: combination of art and commerce, complementarity of catering space and workspace, and branding-oriented spatial operation. The spatial design was intended to connect different areas and commercial operations as much as possible. In addition, the architects conceived multiple combinations of spaces to adapt to commercial operations in the building.
