DOFFICE于深圳设计了首个由城中村握手楼改造而成的人才保障房社区 – 深圳福田水围柠盟人才公寓。在没有任何先例和规范指引的情况下，经历了3年的探索、反复协调和修改，项目即将于近日落成。

DOFFICE has designed the first government-authorized affordable housing community for young professionals, converted by 35 “handshake building blocks” in a Shenzhen urban village, the Shuiwei LM Apartment. It has been an exploration journey of 3 years, and the community is eventually being completed recently.

城中村 | Urban Village

80年代初的改革开放触发了深圳经济特区与本土村落的二元发展轨迹，村落很快被现代城市包围，形成 “城中村”。城中村为低收入人群和创业者提供了较低的城市门槛，为深圳城市化发展发挥了至关重要的作用；但其中的安全卫生和社会问题，也成为难以根治的诟病。过去10年间，城中村改造意味着大规模的拆迁，彻底推倒重建，成为千城一面的高级商住综合体。深圳城中村由80年代初的300多个，迅速消减到如今的200多个，正在逐步走向消失。

It is the Open Door Policy in the early 80’s that kicked off the parallel evolution of the indigenous villages and the SEZ of Shenzhen. As Shenzhen is going through an urbanization process from the 80’s and evolved into a metropolis of 12 million inhabitants as it is today, the rural indigenous villages that operate as different administrative entities, transformed itself into urbanized mini cities within its host.

攀升的房价和生活成本导致大量产业人才的流失，人才保障性住房计划因应而生，但受土地资源以及旧区拆改难度的限制，城市中心区难以在短时间内为外来人口提供足够的廉价保障性住房，因此本项目成为了深圳市首个利用城中村“握手楼”改造为人才保障房社区的试点。项目改造后由政府反租补贴，低于市场价租与企业人才，补贴的金额相当于整治城中村的代价，形成一举多赢的局面。

对于您的问题，我已经按照要求处理了文本，如果有其他需要帮助的地方，请随时告诉我。

Shenzhen became a Special Economic Zone in 1979. This event triggered a massive influx of people from all over China to settle in this new city. But in the past decade, the cost of living has reached such a level, that many are leaving Shenzhen for their home town or other cities where the living condition is more affordable. In a bid to retain talents, Shenzhen created an affordable housing program to ease the housing pressure. Compared to other affordable housing developments, this project is a one of its kind. It is the first time the government leased property from the villagers, in this case an ensemble of 35 handshake tower blocks to be converted into affordable housing. In the past decade, urban renewal concerning urban villages often means mass demolition, a total eradication of any traces from the past, an abrupt replacement by brand new complexes with malls, offices and residential.

规划策略 | Transformation Strategy

改造片区位于深圳中心区的水围村，规划面积约8000平方米，共35栋统建农民楼，其中的29栋改造为504间人才公寓。改造设计保持了原有的城市肌理、建筑结构及城中村特色的空间尺度；并通过提升消防、市政配套设施及电梯，成为符合现代标准的宜居空间。我们关注的，不仅是将农民房进行内部升级装修成为504间人才公寓，更在于如何将住在这504间公寓里的900名青年联系在一起，创建一个社区，而这个社区，又将会对水围村带来怎样的影响？

The site is located in Shuiwei Village, the city center of Shenzhen. The handshake tower block is a typical typology of the urban village. These mini residential towers of 9 by 12, with a height of 27 meters are densely clustered in a configuration where the distance between the towers are as small as 2.5 meters. To provide 500 plus rental units, the existing residential layout in the 35 “handshake housing blocks” has to be reconfigured and upgraded to meet the current living standards of the young urbanites.
