A light and transparent white wall separates the city from the neighborhood, forming a small city and large building with independent personality. The new building embraces and respects his past around the old building, evoking his life through the contrast of color and texture and the weight of space. Ambiguous and ambiguous boundaries, from the high compound and tension of internal functions produce outward tension, and through the open space, a new dialogue with the city outside the region occurs.
10 palace, located in Riverside Garden, No. 215 Youth Street, Shenhe District, Shenyang, is a multi-functional space with fashion, coffee, exhibition hall and conference. Riverside Garden is located in the diamond area of Shenyang City, surrounded by the beautiful Shenyang Mother River, which was recognized as the first rich area in Shenyang at that time. The garden was built in the 1990s, there are 57 villas in the garden, and several old and tall old trees witness the elegance and great changes of the garden at that time. The godfather of the sketch Zhao Benshan, singing queen Na Ying and other celebrities have also lived here.
The villa is full of flowers and plants, and some have become vegetable gardens. With the development of the city, the city center of Shenyang has moved to the Hunnan city center with Youth Street as the center. Relative to the "sudden change" of the surrounding environment and the "natural" return of the riverside garden, the reflux of time is formed. Villa E29 is a two-storey building with a sloping roof, which has not changed from the initial stage of construction until now, except that the building seems to have put on a layer of climbing vines.
The design concept is derived from the climbing vines on the exterior walls and the "wall" of tall buildings on the outskirts of the park, which symbolizes the city. Retaining the heavy texture of the original facade, a light white exterior building is constructed, rearranging and defining the relationship with the abrupt city. Two textures of street space are formed between the new building and the original building. The white walled city is separated from the neighborhood buildings, and through the hole in the wall, it talks to the city and the neighborhood outside the city, forming a city within a city, a garden within a garden.
