Latticed framework incorporates seating around the edges of Shenzhen hotel and cultural centre
Shenzhen studio Aether Architects has transformed a derelict residence in the city's Guanwu district into a hotel and cultural centre that is wrapped in a latticed framework of white cubes.
Aether Architects designed the ARTINN building for an organisation called Shenzhen Yingyu Creative Culture, which was looking to establish a creative hub for the local community as well as visitors.
The client is a native of the area and was keen to bring a new purpose to the disused and unsightly building located on a corner plot surrounded by other residences.
The renovated house now accommodates eight guest rooms, alongside a cafe, art gallery, book bar and flexible rooftop theatre space.
The architectural project required significant structural reinforcements to be implemented before the building could be adapted for its new use.
With the structure secured, Aether Architects set about embellishing the building by adding an outer framework that is intended to soften the boundary between the facility and the adjacent streets.
"We use the raw truss structure concept to develop a series of small structural units to knit and wrap over the original building, creating a new shape and architectural space," said the studio.
"The existence of the new structure as a transparent building between the original building and the external environment glued the two together, then formed the cascading architecture and scenery of the site,"Â it added.
