In Huangpu New Village, a cafe has been designed with restraint, preserving the original residential layout while adapting the space for modern use. A neon installation at the entrance symbolizes the passage of time and enhances the atmosphere. The design prioritizes maintaining existing partitions and materials, placing emphasis on furniture that echoes the character of historic wooden roof trusses. Varied seating arrangements promote interaction and reflect a dialogue between past and future, creating a harmonious environment that honors tradition while embracing contemporary needs.
The architectural framework and original residential layout are preserved, while the space is sensitively adapted to accommodate both the brand's identity and commercial functionality.
At the entrance, a neon installation traces the trajectory of time, extending the design language of temporality.
The construction details of the wooden roof trusses inspire the form and joinery of tables and chairs, fostering a dialogue between past and future.
Acting as the rhythmic pulse of the space, these elements heighten the tension between old and new, balancing historical preservation with functional evolution.
