位于上海市中心的这座三层旧工厂，由dongqi Design委托进行改造，呈现出一种历史遗迹的面貌，原始结构的壮丽尽显无遗。dongqi Design意识到这种美感，采用了自己的设计方法，通过在新时尚与艺术中心中创造旧与新饰面材料之间的对比，来增强建筑的独特特征，从而打破零售体验的常规。
空间内的三个空洞使得设计团队能够开发出一个没有死角的内部流通系统。在平面图中，可以看到对功能和空间的深入研究如何创造出一个连续的内部流动，借助不同的路径，让访客体验到充满惊喜、发现和空间展开的独特空间体验。
为了增强XC273零售店内部的旅程，设计团队在一楼靠近咖啡区的位置设置了一个声学隧道，使访客能够在沉浸式的实验音乐体验中直接连接建筑的两个不同区域。这个隧道如同一个时空机器，创造出独特的时刻，地面的反射与访客的感知相互交织，同时也受到走廊延伸长度的影响。
这种横向的时间旅行也可以在垂直方向上体验，访客可以从一楼和二楼视觉上到达三楼。通过俯瞰这座三层建筑，可以注意到每一层都展现出独特的地面和天花板，形成一种身份的万花筒。
为了增强这种探索森林般的旅程感，墙壁和天花板采用了镜面处理，以使访客感到迷失方向，从而让每一个角落都成为惊喜的时刻，正如斯坦达尔综合症所描述的那样。
尽管空间内有不同的路径，但中庭的主要空洞是真正的建筑核心。为了增强空洞的物理存在感，中间设置了一个水池，与人和空间互动。水池的反射、地面的延续以及液体元素创造出迷人的效果，天花板的照明在地面上形成倒影。
遵循暴露现有结构饰面的理念，围绕主要空洞的柱子表面，如同一座庙宇，朝向水池暴露出来，而在另外两侧则用不同的新材料如石材、木材和金属包裹。
通过在同一建筑空间内使用不同且对比鲜明的材料，设计团队旨在创造出更戏剧化的感知。这种“夹心”方法随后扩展到展示装置的设计，靠近主要空洞的柱子设计原则同样适用，以创造空间的连续感。
这种设计理念同样适用于地面，新铺设的地面饰面与旧地面形成对比，以增强由几何图案组成的独特现有水磨石地面。
项目设计方法的另一个特征是天花板设计，通过使用不同类型的照明来区分每个区域，这些照明均由dongqi Design定制。
在路径的尽头，三楼通过悬浮在水池上方的楼梯进入，这使得访客在穿越天花板时获得更具吸引力的体验，天花板上有一个小切口。
在三楼，白色的饰面设计旨在增强斜屋顶的旧木结构，而大方形开口则让光线洒入空间，投射出访客面向城市和天空的景象。
为了平衡三楼的白色纯净空间，VIP房间则显现出如同黑暗宝石般的存在。不同的材料通过其黑色饰面为空间带来连续性，在春夏季节，附近树木的颜色能够渗透进空间，创造出独特的私密体验。
连接所有空间的关键元素是楼梯的设计，这是设计过程和旅程路径中的一个里程碑。在与结构工程师进行广泛咨询后，楼梯以其纯粹的结构呈现。所有装饰元素都被移除，以专注于其功能。
这一决定与整个空间的揭示和展示结构的愿望相一致，并通过栏杆的细节得以增强。
栏杆的围栏设计为一个简单的元素，滑入楼梯底部的结构梁中，同时顶部有一个轮廓，允许访客抓住扶手而不干扰围栏。
由于不锈钢的特性，楼梯在空间内形成了一种强烈而短暂的存在，创造出与阳光和光线反射的有趣效果。
作为旅程的起点，入口是访客将要接近的第一个亮点。通过减少潜在的零售空间，dongqi Design决定创建这个入口，像一个地下隧道，引导人们进入沉浸式体验。这个模糊的空间是公共街道与零售之间界限消散的地方。
在设计过程中，旧工厂的处理受到建筑历史的影响。在现场检查的初始阶段，dongqi Design被建筑的过去所吸引。
这座建筑最初作为工厂，随着时间的推移经历了多次不同部分的建筑干预。意识到这一点，dongqi Design决定保留空间的所有差异，并展示建筑的历史，以便走进来的人能够感受到过去与现在之间的界限完全模糊，仿佛走进了一个超越时间的空间。
Situated in the heart of Shanghai city, the three-story old factory that dongqi Design was commissioned to renovate presents itself as a historical ruin where the raw structure was truly exposed in all its magnificent. Conscious of this beauty, dongqi Design developed its own approach that enhances the peculiar characteristics of the building by creating a contrast between the old and new finish materials for this new fashion and art hub that is going to break the rules of the retail experience.
The presence of three voids inside the space allowed the studio to develop an internal circulation system without a dead-end point. In the plans, it is possible to see how the deep study of the functions and the space could create a continuous internal flow enabled by different paths, allowing visitors to have a unique spatial experience filled with surprises, discoveries and unfolding of the space itself.
To enhance this journey inside the XC273 retail store, a sound tunnel was placed at the ground floor near the café area to allow visitors to directly connect the two different areas of the building in an immersive experimental music experience. Like a space-time machine, the tunnel creates unique moments where the reflection of the floor engages with the perception of the visitors, altered also by the stretched length of the corridor.
This horizontal time travel can also be experienced vertically as visitors may reach the third floor visually from the first and the second floor. Having this panoramic view of the three-story building, it is possible to notice that each floor reveals its own paving and ceiling. A Kaleidoscope of identities.
In order to increase this sense of the journey as if one was exploring a forest, mirror finish was applied to walls and ceiling to disorient the visitors so that every single corner can become a moment of surprise, as described in the Stendhal’s syndrome.
Despite the different paths in the space, the main void in the atrium is the real core of the building. To enhance the physical presence of the void, a water pond is placed in the middle, engaging with people and with the space. Its reflection, the continuity of the floor and the liquid element create intriguing effects where the ceiling lighting is mirrored onto the floor.
Following the idea of exposing the existing structure finish, all the surfaces of the column surrounding the main void, like in a temple, are exposed towards the water pond, wrapped with different new materials such as stone, wood and metal on the other two sides.
By using different and contrasting materials within the same architectural space, the studio intended to create a more dramatic perception. This "sandwich" approach is later on extended to the display fixtures design, where the principle for the design of the column near the main void also applies, in order to create a sense of spatial continuity.
This design philosophy is also true for the floor, where new paving finish is used in contrast with the old to enhance the peculiar existing terrazzo floor composed of geometrical patterns.
Another characteristic that defines the project's design approach is the ceiling design that differentiates each area by using distinct types of lighting customized by dongqi Design.
At the end of the path, the third floor is accessed by the stair suspended above the water pond, which enables visitors a more intriguing experience by crossing through the ceiling, a tiny cut into the slab.
Up there, the white finish has been designed to enhance the old wooden structure of the pitched roof while the big square opening lets light inside the space and projects the visitors towards the city and the sky outside.
In order to balance the white and pure space of the third floor, the VIP room reveals itself as a dark gem. Different materials give continuity to the space thanks to their black color finish, which, during spring and summer, allows the color of the trees nearby to penetrate into the space, creating a unique private experience.
The key element connecting all the spaces is the design of the stairs, a milestone in the design process and in the journey path. After extensive consultation with structural engineers, the stairs are presented as they are in their pure structure. All the decorative elements have been removed in order to focus on their function.
This decision, which is also aligned with the will of having a coherent language with the entire space of revealing and showing the structure, is enhanced by the details of the balustrade.
The fence of the balustrade is designed as a simple element sliding into the structural beam of the stairs at the bottom while having a profile on the top to allow visitors to grab the handrail without interfering with the fence.
Due to its stainless-steel properties, the stairs are a strong and ephemeral presence inside the space, creating interesting effects with the sun and light reflections.
As the starting point of the journey, the entrance is the first highlight point that the visitors are going to approach. By subtracting potential retail space, dongqi Design decided to create this entrance that, like an underground tunnel, leads people into an immersive experience. A blurred space, it is where the boundary between public streets and retail are dissipated.
As part of the design process, the approach to the old factory is influenced by the history of the building. During the initial phases of the site checking, the attention of dongqi Design was caught by the past of the building.
Born as a factory, the building has been transformed by several architectural interventions in different parts over time. Conscious of this, dongqi Design decide to keep all the differences of the space and show the history of the building so that people walking in could feel that the boundaries between the past and the present are completely blurred, as if they had walked into a timeless space.
