Contemporary Renovation of Qing Dynasty Post Office / More Design Office

Project Summary - MDO’s project is the transformation of a canal-side Qing Dynasty Post Office into a dynamic community social hub.  Our approach combines sensitive renovation techniques with modern upgrades to create a space that celebrates the tradition of information sharing and brings the history of the postal service to life for a new generation. By preserving the building's original features and integrating new elements, we have successfully revitalized the post office into an exhibition, museum, café, and lecture space, fostering community engagement and cultural exchange.
