The site is located in the storefront of Ersheng Temple Qianyan Street, Gongshu District, Hangzhou. The storefront is the residential area in front of Ersheng Temple. For the aging street, FFVV has become the daily gathering place of the residents of this old street; in front of Ersheng Temple, there is an endless stream of youngsters on Zhongshan North Road in the west, with coffee shops, fine brew shops, vintage shops and clothing buyers. While attracting new youth consumers, we also hope to balance the original simplicity of the community.
The facade outside the original site is low with insufficient northern daylighting. Compared with the second floor of the facade, there is almost no interaction between the interior and exterior; in addition, there is no reserved air conditioner outside the building, so the machine can only be placed at the door in messy and dark scene.
OAOA retains the original building structure, removes the large-area shop sign at the door, liberates the external facade of the original building, visually improves the store height, and plants naturally drop from the interlayer, thus embellishing the greenness of the old street.
As the middle column separates the site, the space less than 50m2 is divided into two areas, i.e., annular streamline space and double entrances, which can better balance the overall space order.
The inclined glass surface creates a layering of small doorheads by highlighting the location of the entrance.
The semi-enveloped guardrail is made in the outer swing step area, with natural transition of original building steps, the guardrail column adopts double-layer laminated ultra-white glass, and the pineapple grid solid wood handrail has a light retro feeling.
Display area of peripheral products.
Bar area surrounded by greenery.
Glass will simplify the shape of the fireplace, mirror surface can be served as good space vision continuity in different perspectives to seek the scene by the barist.
