The Office in the Gaps of Urban Villages
LLC Studio has renovated the Office in the Gaps of Urban Villages project in Guangzhou, China.
The project is a wooden structure divided into three functional blocks: office, bathroom and bar; located on the edge of the urban village and functions as an office building with an area of 110 square metres.
Each functional block is an independent box, which uses a pine wood frame and polycarbonate board as the enclosure structure – the wall is as open as possible to actively embrace the surrounding natural and cultural environment.
The flexible wall can be opened and closed according to different seasons. When the door is closed in winter, a flowing activity loop is formed between the three functional blocks; in summer, the wall is mostly open, the space boundary disappears and the airflow flows freely.
This project has been shortlisted in the workplace project category of Dezeen Awards China 2024.
