About Centennial Shameen Kulturelt Rum Interiørdesign

Centennial Shameen er et kulturelt rum skabt inde i en historisk bygning på Shamian-øen i Guangzhou, Kina. Bygningen blev færdiggjort i 1862, og dens ydre bevarer den oprindelige symmetriske form, de præcise proportioner mellem døre og vinduer samt rige formstøbte linjer. Inde i det 260 kvadratmeter store rum, som har en loftshøjde på 4,55 meter, tilføjer et stål-mellemlag et mezzaninniveau med en selvstændig rammekonstruktion. Rummet huser kunstudstillinger og et tehus for lokalsamfundet. Nye materialer og ny belysning skaber en tydelig kontrast til det gamle søjlesystem.

Unique Properties: Located at No.41 Shamian Street on the central axis of Shamian Island, the project was built in 1862 with a history of 159 years. Adhering to the concept of protecting and reusing the historical buildings, this project transforms it into a multifunctional composite cultural space that can accommodate different scenes, for example, cultural art exhibition, and tea house for the community.
Dimensions & Packaging: Taking advantage of the 4.55 meter's high ceiling height in the 260 square-meters room, a steel interlayer is inserted to add different layers. It added a mezzanine space with an independent frame structure locally to make full use of the existing space to create more possibilities.
