Nantou City Guesthouse
Shenzhen
Shanghai-based fi rm Neri&Hu Design
and Research Offi ce transformed an
eight-story building in Shenzhen's Nantou
neighborhood into the mesh-clad 11-room
Nantou City Guesthouse. To honor the
cultural heritage of the building in the
Nantou City urban village, the design
fi rm found inspiration from the energy of
the area, taking cues from local building
elements (think textured glass, ceramic
tiles, iron latt iced windows, and folding
metal doors) and the noises and scents that
pervade the bustling streets.
In one major intervention, the
The exterior of Nantou City Guesthouse
is wrapped in perforated metal bands
A new black-painted metal staircase extends
from the ground floor to the rooftop
Boasting a bar, a new floating floorplate
was installed on the roof level
designers took an existing stairwell that
connected all eight of the tenement fl oors
and cut it open to create a new courtyard
that allow the elements to pass through
the open façade on the sides and light well
above. " We literally made an opening
inside the building and inserted a vertical
stairway serving as a connection from the
urban square to the rooſt op deck above, "
says fi rm cofounder and partner Lyndon
Neri. Contrasting the concrete exterior,
the new black-painted metal stair,
suspended within the vertical courtyard,
now leads to the guestrooms on the middle
levels and the rooſt op public gardens. " The
contrast and tension between old and new,
past and present, are very much part of
the spatial and sectional experience of this
project, " he adds.
A handful of other bold interventions
Exposed concrete walls, beams, and ceilings
define the ground-level restaurant, which
leads to an internal courtyard
Notes of blue offset the cool concrete
walls and floors in a guestroom
propel the project into the modern age.
Take the fl oating fl oor plate that was
installed at roof level. Hovering above
the building, it overlooks the urban
village while off ering extra living areas
with makeshiſt bungalows and gardens.
The façade has also been wrapped in
perforated metal bands, adding another
layer of covering " so [the exterior] takes
on multiple readings of history and
presence, " says partner and cofounder
Rossana Hu.
" The project off ers a new way of
looking at the village in the city while
expanding the notion of community, " Hu
points out. " We hope the cultural heritage
of the everyday is not only acknowledged
but also renewed and celebrated. "
