"The project revitalizes an abandoned water intake facility, transforming it into a vibrant cultural hub that includes a bookstore, cafe, and exhibition space, enhancing local tourism."
"Originally built in 1992, the site featured six structures that became disused after a larger waterworks was completed, leading to its eventual renovation in 2022."
The project is situated on Jianhu Lake's small island in Keqiao, Shaoxing, originally serving as a water intake facility. Built in 1992, it included six structures but fell into disuse after 2001. In 2022, the site was revitalized for cultural tourism, converting the original buildings into a bookstore, cafe, exhibition space, viewing pavilion, and boat dock. A new corridor system connects these spaces, transforming the previously enclosed island into an accessible public area for visitors.
