About Centennial Shameen Innanhússhönnun menningarrýmis

Aldarafmæli Shameen er menningarrými sem skapað var inni í sögulegri byggingu á Shamian-eyju í Guangzhou, Kína. Byggingin var fullgerð árið 1862 og ytra byrði hennar heldur upprunalegu samhverfu formi sínu, nákvæmum hlutföllum hurða og glugga, og ríkulegum mótunarlínum. Inni í hinu 260 fermetra rými, sem hefur 4,55 metra lofthæð, bætir millilag úr stáli við milliloftshæð með sjálfstæðri grindarbyggingu. Rýmið hýsir listsýningar og teahús fyrir samfélagið. Nýtt efnisval og ný lýsing mynda skýra andstæðu við hið gamla súlukerfi.

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.

The exterior of the building retains its original style: within the symmetrical form, precise proportions of doors and windows, and rich moldings lines. By now, stepping into the gate of Ceremonial sense will absolutely open up a new spatial experience.
Design Challenge
Using a section of space as a transition for the entrance, outstanding from the old sense of form; on top of the uses of spacial transition at the entrance, it added new material and design techniques to emphasize the difference, and thus collision between the old and the new style has begun.
Research
Awakening the long-term dormant state of this historical building, it has become an open public space integrated into the urban context and reconnecting the community. The language of the space is concise and lively, and the space still playing the pure beauty of decoration.
Inspiration
Inspired by the local context, the texture of the sandy floor contrasts with the black stone. The horizontal of the three kinds of grain on the stones interspersed with the white volume, which implies the historical meaning of Shamian which washed by the water of the time immemorial Pearl River.
