About Centennial Shameen 文化空間インテリアデザイン

「Centennial Shameen(センテニアル・シャーミン)」は、中国・広州の沙面島に建つ歴史的建築物の内部に創出された文化空間である。1862年に竣工したこの建物は、外観に左右対称の原形、精緻な比率の扉と窓、そして豊かなモールディングのラインを今も留めている。天井高4.55メートル、床面積260平方メートルの室内には、独立した架構によるスチール製の中間層が挿入され、メザニン階を生み出している。この空間では、地域コミュニティに向けた美術展や茶館が営まれる。新たな素材と新たな照明は、既存の列柱システムと明快なコントラストを描き出している。

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.

Production Technology
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.
