07.江山市心街片区城市更新活化设计
杭州
An urban renewal street-level precedent demonstrating the juxtaposition of low, traditional pitched-roof pavilions beneath a luminous, large-scale floating upper box.
- What we like about this project
- A vibrant red vertical accent element pierces through the composition, contrasting with the neutral grey and white tones.

- Geometry
- Low-slung pitched roof retail volumes sit beneath a massive floating rectangular volume wrapped in translucent cladding and structural cross-bracing.
- Facade system
- Translucent channel glass or polycarbonate upper facade with exposed structural steel trusses behind.
- Structural guess
- Steel truss superstructure carrying the upper floating volume over concrete ground-level columns.
- Spatial scale
- Human scale at the pedestrian ground level, juxtaposed against a large-scale floating upper volume.
- Lighting
- Diffused overcast daylight with even illumination across the street and glowing backlighting from the translucent upper box.
- Atmosphere
- Vibrant and clean urban commercial atmosphere balanced by soft, glowing facade lighting.
- Environmental context
- Urban street intersection with multi-lane asphalt, crosswalks, neighboring buildings, and urban canopy trees.
- Spatial experience
- The street frontage juxtaposes traditional pitched forms with a monumental contemporary upper block, creating layered semi-outdoor circulation zones beneath.
- Composition rhythm
- Horizontal stratification separating the active retail street edge from the monumental upper truss and panel system.
