The Jianshi Station & the Tingyun Station / TJAD Original Design Studio

The Jianshi Station and the Tingyun Station are located on the south bank of the Qiantang River, on the north side of Wentao Road and on the northeast side of Fuxing Bridge. It’s part of the 12-kilometer waterfront public space renovation project in the Binjiang District of Hangzhou, undertaken by the Original Design Studio of TJAD. The Jianshi Station was renovated from the Holiday Garden restaurant. Based on the investigation of the site, we found that the roof truss and the facade of the building were dilapidated, and structural columns covered with stone appeared so thick. On the north side of the site located a garden with overgrown plants that concealed the rockery and even the main building. When we reached the top of the building, there was a wide view around us, and we wanted to share this unique perspective with more people.
