Yongjia Road Youth Shared Space Design / Greyspace Architecture Design Studio

Project Profile Urban Corners Scheme, initiated by Greyspace Architects and Architect Jiawei Song, aims to take an architect's perspective to find the leftover space left in the city due to historical reasons, and overlay the new, elastic inserted space system on top of the existing building, so as to makes it a unique scene that can be seen, available, stayable and shared. As the first project of this scheme, Yongjia Road Youth Shared Space transforms a 30-square-meter urban space (formerly a delivery workstation and dormitory) squeezed into two 3-storey old garden houses into a shared public activity and accommodation space for young people in the future, so as to further introduce the urban public space into the building via the narrow lane outside the site, to make the meeting room with abstract symbols to continue the characteristics of the city street.
