The Design

About U Cube Landskapsrenovering

U Cube er en landskapsrenovering av en liten gate i Shanghai, Kina, fullført i 2018. Designet følger en filosofi om å fjerne kompleksitet og bevare enkelhet. Minimale elementer, futuristiske materialer og gjennomtenkte detaljer gjør gaten til et funksjonelt kontorlandskap. Den opprinnelige smygen var trang og mørk, så utformingen ble basert på prinsippet om å strekke ut rommet. En elegant dørplate og en signaturaktig inngang skiller kontorområdet fra boligområdet. Kjøretøytilgang er kontrollert for å sikre et rolig og uavhengig arbeidsmiljø.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: Following the design philosophy of removing complexity and keeping simplicity, Lacime made the small-scale streets a beautiful and practical office landscape by using minimal elements, futuristic design techniques, and exquisite details.
Dimensions & Packaging: The original lane was narrow and dark, which become more congested and depressed because of coexistence of passages and vehicles. So, the design was based on the principle of stretching space.
Tags: landscape, renovation, architecture, street, simplicity
Production Technology: The original street lacks a unique soul and character due to the messy city interface and the ambiguous boundaries between different industries. As a result, this commercial and residential land failed to inject vitality into the area. As to the facade, the futuristic materials, fine doorplate and iconic entrance stand out from the surrounding chaotic environment, dividing the office area from the residential area. Meanwhile, the nature of the land is highlighted with a new image, thus the value of the neighborhood has been improved.
Design Challenge: How to integrate the four elements into one, and to inject new life to the area from point to plane has become the main point of this design. The modern building contrasts sharply with the surrounding environment. The pure white walls and the tough clean lines both lay a good foundation for the landscape design.
Research: Looking at the endless stream of time, whether after five years, ten years, thirty years or even one hundred years, a good work can exist in time, beyond time, and will not be swallowed by time. This is what we have been pursuing and what we are longing for.
Inspiration: As Jane Jacobs pointed out in her book The Death and Life of Great American Cities that while modern urban planning theory promotes regionalization, it devalues high-density, and the mixed use of small-scale neighborhoods and open spaces undermines urban diversity. The four elements of a vibrant urban area are proposed in the book: mixed land use, small-scale neighborhoods, coexistence of new and old buildings and high population density, which are integrated in this project.
Project Duration: The project is completed in 2018 in Shanghai, China.
Operation Flow: In addition to the landscape transformation, the vehicle is shielded by control, providing a relatively quiet and independent modern working environment which has a sense of future.
The thinking and design of a landscape project should be beyond what we see at present and design can promote value.
