Before and after interior timber frame renovation and narrow street
上海
A valuable precedent for adaptive reuse and timber frame exposure in compact urban renovations.
- What we like about this project
- Intact historical timber joints and structural bracing exposed during gut renovation.

- structural-skeleton
- Geometry
- Exposed heavy timber post-and-beam structure framing an open interior volume with a pitched roof truss system.
- Facade system
- Exposed wood stud walls and dark timber cladding with modified window openings on the exterior view.
- Structural guess
- Traditional timber post-and-beam construction with roof trusses
- Spatial scale
- Small-scale residential or neighborhood renovation project.
- Lighting
- Ambient daylight filtering in through existing window openings and side walls.
- Atmosphere
- Raw, dusty, and honest atmosphere typical of early-stage construction and stripping.
- Environmental context
- Compact urban context with narrow alleyways and surrounding low-rise and mid-rise structures.
- Spatial experience
- Unfinished rustic interior reveals structural skeleton, showing volumetric potential before partition finishes.
- Composition rhythm
- Vertical timber posts and diagonal braces establish a regular structural rhythm along the perimeter walls.
