Discover the transformation of an old building into a modern office space with Poet Studio, designed by Zhiyong Bai in Fujian Province, China.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Zhiyong Bai's Poet Studio is a testament to the art of preserving history while infusing new life into old spaces. The studio, located in Fujian Province, China, beautifully marries the original architectural structure with modern design elements, creating a unique and functional office space.
The studio's design concept revolves around conformity and improvisation, akin to a poem that evolves with time. By retaining the original building's external wall as the main wall of the space, Poet Studio seamlessly integrates the historical legacy of the structure into its modern design.
Constructed using clear water concrete and old wooden boards, the 66-square meter space exudes simplicity and elegance. The strategic placement of glass doors and windows allows natural light to flow seamlessly, enhancing the overall ambiance.
The project, which commenced in December 2018 and was completed in May 2019, was a creative endeavor to preserve history while embracing modernity. The design team, led by Zhiyong Bai and interior designer Shanni Qiu, overcame various technical and spatial challenges to ensure the space's historical continuity and rebirth.
Recognizing the exceptional creativity and resourcefulness of the design, Poet Studio was honored with the Bronze A' Design Award in 2020, a testament to its outstanding contribution to quality of life improvements.
