Project background and design concept

This project is a renovation of historically significant old factory buildings, aiming to transform their functions to meet the high standards of modern scientific research. Our design strategy begins with an in-depth analysis of the actual site conditions, proposing innovative solutions, and using these as the foundation for design expression.

Site facts and challenges

The challenges we face include the poor seismic performance of old buildings, structural safety issues, and renovation costs that are higher than new construction. At the same time, old buildings carry a wealth of historical memories and have irreplaceable cultural value. Beijing's policies also tend to protect and activate these old factory buildings rather than large-scale demolition.

Design strategy and layout

Our design adopts the concept of "old bones and new muscles," preserving the characteristics of old buildings and embedding new functional elements to achieve a harmonious coexistence of old and new. Our design not only meets the physical environmental requirements of scientific research laboratories but also optimizes the spatial layout and improves efficiency through horizontal layering.

Environmental and ecological benefits

In terms of the environment, we have significantly improved the ecological environment by increasing the green space area from 18,700 square meters to 47,000 square meters. Our design focuses on the intensive use of construction land to achieve an ecologically preferred scientific research office area.

Connection and circulation

The newly built underground space becomes the key to connecting the northern and southern clusters, with public function areas such as restaurants, classrooms, and academic exchange rooms, achieving natural lighting and ventilation, enhancing the connectivity and comfort of the space.

Landscape system

Our landscape design aims to create an ecological park image, integrating indoor and outdoor activities into nature through multi-level landscape design. Elements such as courtyards, terraces, roofs, and greenhouses inside and outside the building create a rich landscape experience.

Impact and Benefits

The intensive use of land and the improvement of the ecological environment not only responds to the country's sustainable development strategy but also provides scientific researchers with an efficient, ecological, and innovative working environment.

Conclusion

This project is a well-considered renovation of old factory buildings, fully considering the preservation value of old buildings and the development needs of new functions, achieving a harmonious coexistence of history and modernity, and providing scientific researchers with an efficient, ecological, and emotionally resonant working environment.
