Constructing a New "Locality" — As China's urbanization enters its "second half," the revitalization of underutilized assets has become an inevitable challenge for governments, developers, and designers alike. Located in the heart of the old city of Shangyu, Shaoxing, the Banshan1994 Commune serves as a critical case in the stock renewal of county-level cities. We believe that locality is not a static relic but a continuous process of writing and creation. In this project, renovation is conceived as an "open-source system" --a framework that interfaces with multiple timelines, landscapes, and lifestyles, resulting in a site-specific, continuous, and layered architectural condition.

Since West Lake District launched the agricultural market quality enhancement action, marketplace renovation has become a cultural calling card of Hangzhou. The team of Office Canopy of Architecture was responsible for the full-professional design, construction drawings, and implementation management across architecture, interior, landscape, installation, graphic visuals, and lighting.

The project is located within the Xiangshan Art Commune in the Xihu District of Hangzhou, which has been in a state of waiting for commercial development for many years since its construction.
