南头古城植物楼始建于80年代,位于中山南街中段口袋公园东侧。首层为临街商铺,二层以上为业主自宅。植物楼具有城中村建筑非常普遍的砖混结构与水刷石外立面,是古城内最为典型的居民楼之一,因其业主种植在露台上的丰富植栽显现出"万楼从中一方绿"的独特气质。在经历了2017深港城市建筑双城双年展之后,由深圳市南山区建设工务署和深圳市万科发展有限公司主导,南头古城迎来了新一轮的大规模更新改造。万科城市研究院委托厘米制造为植物楼建立新的形象和方案设计。

The Plant Building of Nantou Old Town was built in 1980s, locates in the middle of Zhongshan South Street, eastside of the pocket garden. The first floor of the building served as stores, and the second floor and above were used as residential space. The building was known as one of the most typical residential buildings in the old town. It has the masonry-concrete structure and water-washed sandstone façade, which is very common in the urban village buildings. However, with the rich plants on the terrace raised by its owner, the building also shows a unique character of "a green box inside ten thousands of buildings". Following the 2017 UABB, a new mega renovation has been carried out in Nantou Old Town, leading by Bureau of Public Works of Shenzhen Municipality Nanshan District and Shenzhen Vanke Development Ltd. In this renovation, one of the commissions accepted by CM from Urban Research Institute of China Vanke, was to establish a new image for the plant building.

此次南头古城的更新改造后,街道两侧呈现出了一系列截然不同的建筑立面与空间构成的单元项目的混杂整体。在这种背景之下,厘米制造希望为植物楼赋予一种全新的开放而清晰的特征。为了重新构建室内外空间的相互延伸及与街巷的互动关系,方案设计摒弃了传统临街铺面平整的形象,采用直径350MM的弧形玻璃连贯地包裹首层空间,以通透性与互动性的界面制造出与周边的戏剧性差异,同时将室内空间与古城街区重新链接起来。

As the renovation progressed, the street overlapped a series of completely different building facades and spaces. In this context, CM seeks to give a new open and clear feature to the plant building, reconstructing the mutual infiltration of indoor and outdoor spaces and the interaction with the street. Instead of displaying traditional flat image of street stores, 350mm diameter curved glass continuously wrapped the first floor to form an interface of transparency and interactivity, creating a dramatic difference from the surroundings, and reconnecting the interior space with the old town.

我们在改造设计中最具有意义的不单单是保留二层以上的建筑,而是让原业主一直以来的生活空间与生活方式及对花草植物的喜爱可以延续而没有"被"改变,这种近乎"无设计"的设计行为反而强化了建筑屋顶一方植物花园的特性。为高密度的城中村贡献了唯一一处空中森林秘境,让它变得弥足珍贵。

For buildings on the second floor and above, what we think the most meaningful in the renovation is not just about retaining——living space and owner’s lifestyle have not been changed, their love for plants could also be sustained——but a design that similar to "not design" can strengthen the character of a green box on the roof, contributing the only rising forest to the high-density urban village, and making it exceedingly preciou
