T.SPACE in shanghai aged villa
Projet Description
The office of T.Space is located in the heart of the former French Concession in Middle Huaihai Road, Shanghai. We feel that traditional office buildings are too commercial, while the European-style humanistic alleyways and old houses still retain a sense of tranquility amidst the hustle and bustle of the city center. Here, we can find the taste of old Shanghai, we can feel the change of seasons and the strong smell of fireworks, and we also hope to integrate modern design elements and concepts in this old house to start our story.
The house where the studio is located was built in 1941 and was listed as an outstanding historical protection building in Shanghai in 1994. It is located on the first floor of a three-story house with poor infrastructure due to its nearly 80 years of history. The interior is divided into two spaces: an office area and a pantry, with a total area of about 30 square meters, and an entry garden of more than 30 square meters.
Respecting and loving this old house, we have preserved the original structure of the building and many old objects full of age, while mixing new and modern design techniques to create a sense of time and space.
The sun rises and sets, the morning sun and evening sun; the seasons alternate and the years change.
The four seasons in the old house are the ideal model of happiness.
In spring, we can hear the sound of flowers blooming, see the light and shade playing, and feel the vigor of life in every spring breeze.
Summer flowers bloom and come to life. The pipal on the tree slowly begins to mature and bear fruit.
Autumn rhythms tantalize, and the fallen leaves all over the ground add a different kind of color to the courtyard.
In the warm winter sun, you can enjoy the sunshine in the courtyard and enjoy the scenery and chat.
Founded in 2019, our studio is located in a century-old house under sycamore trees in Shanghai, hence named Tonghua Space, which means painting your exclusive space with us.
Founder Tong Zhang, with 10 years of design experience and international vision, leads a team always committed to providing personalized full-project design and implementation services for private homes and commercial spaces, each case strives to achieve the level of works, so far has more than 100 sets of project experience, and has won more than 30 domestic and international design awards.
