ARCHITECTS: Clear space Design & Research
Area: 2000sqm
This building is an old factory that is
more than 50 years old. Except for the
structural columns, we demolished
and retained some brick walls, and
rebuilt the building and interior
design. A House is a workspace. We
hope to bring people home feeling -
warm and safe. This allows building a
close relationship between people
and the environment. The appearance
of the sloping roof is like a home. This
is a concept that extends from home
to the workplace. Work can be like a
home where people can generate
close relations.
This work combines green building,
smart building, urban farmland, and
energy-saving design to create a
landscape that can share resources
and design, creating a circular and
sustainable ecology. It restarted the
community's co-creation activities
and made the exterior a recognizable
natural life landscape.
The rice field is a memory of the south
of the Yangtze River. The small farm
that in front of the building makes a
joyful and harmonious space for
employees. When the Chinese solar
terms in autumn, all employees and
community members will gather
together to harvest, just like the
memory of hometown. It’s a home feel
to the workplace. Then we will never
far from home.
New bricks must be made like old
bricks in order to be fused, and they
will not be placed here like a new
thing. The red brick walls demonstrate
a quaint, traditional Chinese
atmosphere. Outside the old red brick
wall, the architect decided to build a
new layer of the red brick wall. The
middle of the two red brick walls
remains hollow. The air in the middle
isolates the outdoor heat conduction
and forms effective isolation with
benefit for the building.
Comfort - Using German GANEKER
technology, the west side wall was kept to
preserve the interaction between the
outdoor and the indoor. It not only blocks
the conduction of air and radiant heat but
also adds a clever spin to a traditional
design. Windows are from VELUX from
Denmark. They combined with the window
blinds to separate the glaring daylight.
Fresh air and scenery are the focus of the
surrounding design. The windows help us
meet this goal. Daylight is the main design
feature of this building. It employs not only
façade windows, but also skylights in the
atriums, which improve the daylight
environment in the inner area. The curtain
wall towards the east maximized the
daylight level of the office area. The average
daylight factor is above 4.2%.
Energy - As calculated, the energy
consumption of the building is
expected to reach 43kWh/m2a for
cooling, heating, ventilation,
plumbing, and lighting annually.
Environment - This building is
refurbished following the 3R (Reduce,
Reuse, and Recycle) principle. Use
environmentally friendly materials.
The recycled materials, such as
bearing steel frame structures, metal
roof, glazing curtain walls are used in
the project. The friendly materials, for
instance, includes FSC wood, the
GAINKER building resins, low VOC
paint, and so on.
