Old house renovation and commercial space
Thinking about old buildings
In this design, I mainly want to challenge how to renovate an old building and put new functions in it. The building to be renovated this time is called the old office of Dounan Branch. It is mainly divided into four buildings, and there is a courtyard in the middle. I think such buildings are out of touch with the city. So I demolished one of them and connected the remaining three in series, hoping that its courtyard could be turned into a park in the city, and people are free to come here to use it.
Architecture program
In the architectural program, because Dounan is an agricultural town, I hope it can be turned into an agricultural food base. For farmers, they can sell agricultural products, for residents, they can hold cooking activities, and for tourists, it can become a service center. In addition, the green space of the courtyard has become a kind of urban park because of the opening. People can grow some agricultural products in the middle and hold some market activities in the corridor.,and extend indoor activities to outdoor.
Architecture space
On the outside of the building, I mainly wanted to create a sense of opposition between the new
and the old, so I used a rectangular space to correspond to the sloping roof. While inside the building, I wanted to create a feeling of fusion of old and new, so I embedded rectangles into the sloping roofs and opened them up, so that people who come here have a special experience.
