NOYARD is a renovation project that transforms an existing building into a commercial complex housing ten trendy stores.The project focuses on creating an open,public space on the first floor,with features such as colonnades,gardens,and atriums to provide convenience and shelter for passersby.The original facade of the building has been wrapped in white perforated panels,which create intermediate spaces for planting vegetation and enhance the building's interaction with its surroundings.
Inside,the design revolves around a central atrium filled with natural light.The ten shops are arranged around this atrium,with some floor slabs removed to expose the original beam and column structure,enhancing the sense of openness and inviting visitors to explore the upper levels.The second floor,with its open-plan marketplace design,fosters unique synergy among vendors and reduces operating costs.NOYARD transforms into a vibrant gathering space in the evening,as the building’s garden steps and rooftop terrace come alive with activity.The project demonstrates a thoughtful approach to urban renovation,blending public accessibility, commercial functionality,and aesthetic innovation.
Bio Dazhou And Associates was founded in spring 2019 and is currently based in Shanghai. The studio aims to explore the inner spirit of architecture design and its peripherals through every practice, involving in urban, architectural and interior design. Urbanism, Prototype and Atmosphere are the three topics that we currently focus on. We desire for presenting physical experience of the architectural environment to search for the poetry of life. Also, we emphasize the relationship between environment and architecture to explore a broader conception of nature.
