知一设计研究室 | 苏州MARUS COFFEE及咖啡学院-设计风向

场地（Context）

项目改造的原建筑的历史可以追溯到1895年，苏州苏纶场当时由两江总督兼南洋通商大臣张之洞创办，原建筑名字为苏纶纱厂，前身是苏州第一家现代化的纺织工厂。原建筑在20世纪经历了多次扩建和改造之后，纱厂最终在2005年宣告破产。2012年，此处整个园区里的所有建筑都经历了一个完整的改造，整体转型成为一个城市商业综合园区进行使用。

The history of the original building in this project dates back to 1895, when the Suzhou Silk Spinning Factory was founded by Zhang Zhidong, the Governor of Liangjiang and the Minister of the Nanyang Trade. It was the first modern textile factory in Suzhou. The original building underwent multiple expansions and renovations throughout the 20th century before the factory was declared bankrupt in 2005. In 2012, a comprehensive renovation was carried out across the entire industrial park, transforming it into a mixed-use urban commercial complex.

苏州这个城市原本地域建筑的特性是鲜明的，我们将园林建筑中的“亭”“廊”“景”等三大元素，抽象出空间本质之后，想去与原建筑本身自带的一些属性去进行结合。原建筑底层有一排隐形存在的柱廊，2012年的那次改造将原本的柱廊弱化，立面均被玻璃幕墙封闭上，从而划分出了清晰的室内室外空间。

Suzhou, as a city, has distinctive regional architectural characteristics. We abstracted three key elements from traditional garden architecture—“pavilions,” “corridors,” and “views”—and sought to combine these elements with the inherent attributes of the original building. The lower floor of the original structure contained a row of hidden columned corridors, which were downplayed in the 2012 renovation, and the facades were enclosed with glass curtain walls, thereby clearly separating the interior and exterior spaces.

所以我们在拿到原始图纸后的第一件事，是想要去回应最初因诸多原因而消失掉的柱廊和留存于立面的灰空间。我们的原始出发点是还原立面本该存在那一个灰空间，但是未经转译的空间性还原显得些许直白与傲慢。最终在对比多个方案之后决定以下图的方式去放置一个“亭”。原先的玻璃幕墙被替换成为了镀锌板，柱子以嵌入的方式去呈现，而倾斜挑出的屋顶在向外为客人或路人提供灰空间的同时，也让一层底商在立面上的呈现状态从最初沿街的廊道延展成为嵌入整个楼体的体块，也就是所谓的“房子”。

Therefore, the first task upon receiving the original drawings was to respond to the columned corridors that had disappeared for various reasons and the residual “gray space” on the facade. Our initial approach was to restore the gray space that should have existed on the facade, but this direct restoration of the space felt somewhat simplistic and imposing. After comparing multiple proposals, we decided to use the following design approach, illustrated in the axonometric view, to place a “pavilion.” The original glass curtain walls were replaced with galvanized steel panels, and the columns were presented in an embedded manner. The inclined, cantilevered roof not only provides gray space for visitors or passersby but also transforms the commercial spaces on the ground floor, extending the facade from the original street-side corridor into a volume embedded within the building, thus forming what we call the “house.”

亭(Pavillion)

亭中的“驻足”

Lingering in the pavilion

所谓“亭”，被定义为有屋顶，屋顶之下不完全封闭的一种带有欢迎人停留属性的一种建筑物。我们在整体空间中置入了两个不同属性的“亭”。第一个是从立面向外延伸的斜屋面，实际并未切断于立面，而是斜插在立面之上，在室内能够感知到斜屋顶的穿插关系。这个未被切断的斜面在纯粹的符号性上便与墙面装饰脱离，使其成为了一个即是立面本身，也是抽象意义上的“亭”，具有了属于亭的空间性。

The so-called “pavilion” is defined as a structure with a roof, where the space beneath the roof is not fully enclosed, and it has an inviting quality that encourages people to linger. As shown in the diagram, we have incorporated two pavilions with different characteristics into the overall space. The first pavilion is an inclined roof that extends outward from the facade. It does not detach from the facade but instead slopes over it, creating an interplay between the inclined roof and the interior space. This undetached inclined surface, in its pure symbolism, distances itself from the decorative elements of the wall, transforming it into both a part of the facade and, in an abstract sense, a “pavilion,” thus giving it a pavilion-like spatial quality.

亭中的“表演”

performance in the pavilion

第一个“亭”是关于场地的，第二个“亭”则是聚焦于咖啡师与客人之间的状态。”亭“中通过围合的吧台，将“亭”屋檐下的空间分成了两个部分，一部分空间是属于咖啡师的，一部分空间是属于客人的。居中布置的回型吧台是属于咖啡师的一方天地，可以理解为是属于咖啡师的表演“舞台”，能够在有一定围合感的空间里同时进行操作出品和保留与客户之间充足的对话性。而吧台外，“亭”的屋檐和屋檐下的四根立柱之间的虚空间，则是属于客人的，兼具依旧位于亭下场所的归属感和围坐观看舞台中心的体验感。

The first “pavilion” is related to the site, while the second “pavilion” focuses on the interaction between the barista and the customer. Within the “pavilion,” the space under the eaves is divided into two parts by an enclosing bar counter: one part belongs to the barista, and the other part belongs to the customer. The centrally located oval bar counter is the barista’s domain, which can be understood as the barista’s performance “stage.” It allows the barista to both prepare and serve coffee while maintaining an adequate sense of enclosure and enough space for interaction with the customer. Outside the bar counter, the space between the eaves and the four columns beneath them is reserved for the customer. This area offers both a sense of belonging to the pavilion and the experience of sitting around and watching the “stage” at the center.
