本案位于南京主城核心区，南京文化中轴线（玄武湖-六朝&近代遗址-夫子庙）上。原为上世纪80年代单元式公寓住宅，一种从苏联借鉴的居住建筑模式，其统一、标准和平等化居住类型是社会主义集体化意识形态的体现。然而随着城市旧改，土地性质随即从居住转变成商业，一种消费、自由的空间形态呼之欲出。 原先老旧住宅底层封闭，街道界面消极，违建侵占了城市公共空间。首先在西侧临街面增加和拓宽了门窗洞口并进行结构加固，提升了与街道的可达性和互动性。其次，围绕建筑三面塑造开放与半开放庭院式公共空间，同时拓宽连接了二楼阳台，设一部室外楼梯可直达露台，充分激发了公共空间潜能，提升了城市活力。 更新需要满足商业用图的生产与消费逻辑，砖混结构墙体对空间改造的限制是无法回避的现实问题。东西水平向增加两个门洞，使空间得以串联起来，形成内外视线通廊。一层是街景，二层是树景，空间因墙体分割增加了层次而变得深远。垂直向局部设计了挑空，让天光进来，穿透空间。单元式公寓是很多人的身体经验，二楼设客厅与餐厅，有家的亲切，设计又打破了空间模式，是对僵化居住模式的反叛，自由且灵动。 我们希望空间有种先验的存在感，而不是设计的结果。设计师以一种弱的姿态介入，仅是唤醒空间内在的充盈。设计磨圆了坚硬的墙角，保留了原有水泥楼梯，使用回收的旧木和老布，不仅体现了时间的温度，同时也是对低碳环保的考量。我们用中庭拱顶和拱门的方式与原始的面包烘焙窑形成了连结，同时给人一种包裹感与安全感，在光影明媚与晦暗间感受时间的磨砺。 城市更新是一项复杂且系统的长久历程，从设计到施工，经历了多部门配合和疫情，历时一年多。在此感谢南京历史城区保护集团、花迹行旅、实在建筑设计等的付出，同时感谢悦舍食单&Busy Loaf的支持。
Osmanthus House Patisserie, a local creative dessert brand in Nanjing, has been to advocate the concept of oriental fine dessert. Through this project, which combining the sub-brand busy loaf, we hope to provide a train of thought and valuable reference for urban renewal. This case is located in the core area of the Nanjing city, where also is the cultural axis of Nanjing. The old building is a unit apartment in the 1980s, which is a residential building pattern from the Soviet Union. Its unified, standard and equal residential prototype is the embodiment of the socialist collective ideology. However, with the urban renewal, the nature of land has changed from residential to commercial, and a commercial and free space form is coming out. The ground floor of the old building was closed, the facade of it facing the street was negative, and the illegal construction occupied the urban public space. Firstly, in the west facade, door and window openings are added and widened, and the structure is reinforced at the same time in order to improve the accessibility and interaction with the street. Secondly, the public and semi-public courtyard space is shaped around the three sides of the building. At the same time, the balcony on the second floor is widened and connected. An outdoor staircase is set up to reach the terrace directly, which fully stimulates the potential of public space and enhances the vitality of the city. The renewal needs to meet the production and consumption logic of commerce. The limitation of brick-concrete structure walls is an unavoidable practical problem. Two door openings are added in the east-west horizontal direction to connect the space and form a corridor for internal and external view. The first floor is the street view, and the second floor is the tree view. The space has become far-reaching because of the increased layers of wall segmentation. We design a void space in the part of vertical direction to let the sunlight shines into the space. The unit apartment is the physical experience of many people. The second floor has a living room and a dining room, which has the warm feeling of home. However, the design has broken the space pattern. It is a rebellion against the rigid living pattern, leading to a free and flexible experience. We hope that space has a transcendental sense of existence, not the result of design. The designer intervened with a weak attitude, only to awaken the inner fullness of the space. The design rounds off the hard corners, retains the original cement stairs, and uses recycled old wood and cloth, which not only reflects the temperature of time, but also considers low-carbon and environmental protection. We form a connection with the original bread baking kiln by the way of the atrium vault and arch, and at the same time give people a sense of package and security, and feel the temper of time in the bright and dark light. Urban renewal is a complex and systematic long-term process. From design to construction, it has experienced multi-sectoral cooperation and COVID-19, lasting more than one year. I would like to thank Nanjing Historic City Protection Group, Huaji Travel, and SZ-Architects for their efforts, as well as the support of Osmanthus House Patisserie and Busy Loaf.
