About The Mountain View Gemëschte Notzung Kulturkomplex

De Mountain View ass e gemëschte Notzung Kulturkomplex, deen duerch d'Renovéiere vun engem bestoende Gebai zu Shenzhen, China, entstanen ass. De Komplex ëmfaasst 6.000 Quadratmeter a bréngt e Buttek, e Restaurant, eng Konschtgalerie, en Theater a Schaffräim zesummen. Eng oppen Veranda ëmginn den zentrale Bannenhaff a verbënnt déi verschidde Beräicher. Rechteckeg Stahlsailen, an enger Matrix ugeuerdnet, stäipe d'Veranda. D'Materialien enthalen selbstniveléierende Ziment, wieder-resistent Stahl, laminéiert Bambus, ultra-kloer Glas a Glasstengelen. D'Gebai bitt en roueg Raum fir kulturell Evenementer a sozialen Kontakt mat der Natur an der Konscht.

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.

Location: Building 6, Xiangshan Village, Xiangshan Street Community, Shahe Sub-district, Nanshan District, Shenzhen, China
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.
