杭州锦和大厦位于庆春路，距离西湖东岸约 3 公里，沿路车辆繁忙、昼夜不息。业主委托我们为建筑的沿街立面提供改造升级的方案，一方面作为物业整体升级改造的先声，同时能够为人行匆忙的街道提供一处优质的城市公共空间。

The Hangzhou Jinhe Building is located on Qingchun Road, which is about 3 kilometers away from the east bank of the West Lake. The traffic along the road is busy all day and night. The owner commissioned us to provide a renovation and upgrading scheme for the building’s street facade. On one hand, it serves as a precursor to the overall upgrading and renovation of the property, and on the other hand, it can provide a high-quality urban public space for the busy street.

现状：割裂与失修 Status: Disparity and Disrepair

在改造之前，建筑的首层立面处于半废弃的状态，面层脱落、原有结构裸露，仍保留的完成面也处于年久失修的状态。与此同时，建筑与人行道之间 1.4m 的高差以及沿路拦起的等身高护墙将建筑与经过的行人完全分裂，令整个空间显得疏离冷漠，缺少停留感，也违背了建筑首层内退所塑造的公共空间属性。

Before the renovation, the first-floor facade of the building was in a semi-abandoned state. At the same time, the 1.4-metre-height-difference between the building and the sidewalk and the human-height parapet blocking along the road completely separate the building from the pedestrians passing by, making the whole space alienated and indifferent and lack a sense of staying, which also violates the public gene of the space created by the inward retreat of the first floor.

改造：仪式感与亲人性 Transformation: The sense of Ceremonial and Intimacy

无论是庆春路还是建筑高耸的内退空间，都体现了人的尺度的缺失。如何在一个车行尺度的城市空间中打造一处既有标志性又能让人们愿意停留的公共空间是项目改造的出发点。

The Qingchun Road itself and the gigantic retreated first-floor space reflect the lack of human scale. How to create a public space that is both iconic and comfort for people to stay in this vehicle-scale urban space is the starting point of the renovation.

通过现场的实际踏勘，我们认为在整个通高空间中，八根外露的结构圆柱定义了空间的内外，是整个空间的重要元素。因此，我们的设计以此为出发点，向地面与吊顶展开。首先将圆柱的面层全部拆除，通过简单的涂白恢复结构本身的美感，在周边各种店铺装饰性门头的对照下创造了一个与周边异质的、具有仪式感的空间基底。地面部分围绕着圆柱布置了高低错落的平台座椅，用不同的高度软化场地与建筑原本生硬的高差，创造出一系列供人停留休憩的场地，通过绿植与木材的运用增加沿街界面的亲人性。

Through the actual reconnaissance of the site, we believe that the eight exposed structural columns in the entire double-height space define the inside and outside of the space and are an important element of the entire space. Therefore, our design takes this as a starting point and extends to the ground and ceiling. First of all, the finishing layer of the column is completely removed, and the beauty of the structure itself is restored by simply painting it in white. In contrast to the decorative doors of various surrounding shops, we create a space that is heterogeneous and has a sense of ritual. On the ground level, platform seats with different heights are arranged around the columns. Different heights are used to soften the site and the original rigid height difference of the building to create a series of places for people to stay and rest. The use of green plants and wood increases the intimacy of the interface along the street.
