项目位于长宁古北，连甍接栋的玉屏南路老城区。旧建筑原是办公商务楼，五层楼高。MASS希望创造一个舒适与包容的空间，延续老上海市井生活的传统；同时也希望成为一个时尚多样的混合功能公寓，吸引更多人参与具有开放性的尝试。

MASS对建筑的外立面，室内外空间进行了整体改造设计。首层规划为一个近400平方米的临街零售空间，提供多元的生活配套；阶梯式入口，邀请公众进入。面向街区，渗透到城市社区网络之中。

Located in Gubei, Shanghai, base YUPING is situated in residential pocket just outside the inner ring road. The original building was a five-story nondescript office building. MASS considered the surrounding environment and materials and transformed it into a serviced apartment complex with a modern identity, materiality and function that drew inspiration from the surrounding contextual narratives.

MASS completely remodeled the façade, interior spaces and outdoor courtyard, added a swimming pool, and programed a 400 square meter retail area on the first floor for new innovative tenant-mixes to service the building’s tenants and local community.

为了区分动线，公寓租户的入口设置在后方庭院处。简而有律的建筑形态，安静地展示出材料和形式的魅力。

The entrance to the apartment building is placed within the courtyard, providing both privacy coupled with a sense of arrival.  The building integrates into the surrounding community through its simple refined form and material presence.

大堂区域功能设定为接待，咖啡室与图书馆，并连接通往庭院的游泳池；形成一个自然放大的公共客厅，鼓励租户之间的社交互动。条形青砖由户外连续至室内空间，模糊内外的界限。

The lobby functions as a living room with a café/reception, library, and direct access to the courtyard and swimming pool providing opportunity for casual interaction between tenants. The grey brick paving, another vernacular Shanghai material, continues into the lobby blurring the boundary between the inside and outside.

退后的门头，给租户留出一个仪式感的过渡空间。

The apartment entrances are set back from the corridor, creating a moment to decompress and transition into the inner private spaces.
