About Hutong Neighborhood Complex Funksioni Parësor: Kafene, Ambient i Brendshëm i Qendrës Komunitare

Kompleksi i Lagjes Hutong është një kafene dhe ambient i brendshëm komunitar i vendosur në një shtëpi të vjetër në një Hutong të Pekinit qendror. Dy katet mbulojnë 133 metra katrorë. Kati i parë shërben si një dhomë ndenjeje e përbashkët për banorët vendas. Kati i dytë funksionon si një kopsht i pasmë, ku kutitë e lëvizshme me bimë e ndajnë hapësirën sipas funksionit. Materiale me kosto të ulët dhe miqësore me mjedisin janë përdorur në muret dhe dyshemetë, në ngjyra që i përshtaten lagjes Hutong. Muri i vjetër prej tullash dhe çatia prej druri janë ruajtur. Hapësira gjithashtu pret ekspozita arti, lexim dhe përdorim si zyrë e përbashkët.

Production Technology
The walls and floors of the project are made of low-cost environmental protection materials. The color and texture are in line with the characteristics of the Hutong district. The glass is in line with the map of the Qianlong period in Beijing made of huge sulfuric acid paper to separate the space. The ultra-fine linear light belt flows to the wall along the top surface, making the eyes focus on the wall of landscape position, just like time flowing. In the gray wall of the old house, the sense of technology is compared.
Design Challenge
1. The project is located in the old urban area, with the project as the center, the public space within 500meters is seriously lacking, and the area needs to share public space.
2. From the perspective of coffee shop operation, we must control the cost of renovation and find a balance between cost and design effect.
3. How to protect the old building structure. In the same space, avant-garde works of art coexist with the exposed old roof truss, colliding with different tastes.
Research
PhilipM.Goldsmith, a great Canadian architect, said: "the most meaningful protection for an old building is to find a way to reuse it.". This project retains the blue brick exterior wall and wooden roof of the old building, continues the color of Beijing gray in the interior, injects coffee makers, living plants and community shared living rooms who are willing to communicate, and becomes a scarce public space in the core area of Beijing.
Inspiration
The project is an old house in the Hutong of the old city, near the famous Prince Gong's residence. The houses in the Hutong are very small and there is no centralized greening. Residents need a bigger living room and back garden. So the designer made the upper and lower floors into community living room and garden respectively. Add fashionable elements to the old house and inject new vitality into the life of Hutong with contrast. Through planning and transformation, different functions of different periods (such as coffee shop, shared office, art space, old people's lounge, etc.) are added to this space, so that the old house can redistribute its vitality and continue their life.
Project Duration
Design Time: November 2019 to December 2019
Construction Time: December 2019 to February 2020
Beijing, China
Operation Flow
The project is close to the tourist area, and the multi-functional composite space is used. On weekends, Hutong visitors make full use of the space to drink coffee, read books and talk. On weekdays, due to the lack of tourists, part of the second floor becomes a shared office space. At the same time, free rest service is provided for the elderly in the community. It is also a free street art space with exhibitions of artists from Italy, Russia and China.
