Our project in Liu Village, Daxing District, Beijing, exemplifies a pioneering approach to urban redevelopment, focusing on the specific needs of low-income earners, particularly delivery riders. Located 20 kilometres from central Beijing, the project employs an "urban acupuncture" strategy, rejuvenating the community by converting three rural self-built houses into a hub for deliverymen, offering a community centre and affordable housing.
Tailored to the unique lifestyle and professional demands of deliverymen, the project includes warm, comfortable living spaces designed with the concept of 'one room, one bed'. The community centre is dedicated to fostering a positive mental state among the residents, equipped with a stress relief room and a psychological counselling area to help grassroots workers cope with the pressures of work and life. Additionally, the project thoughtfully includes ample parking spaces and charging stations for vehicles.
A standout feature of the design is the building's photovoltaic facade, upheld by a separate steel structure. This innovative element produces 1.5 times the average daily electricity requirement, channelling surplus energy back to the grid, thereby lightening the village's electrical load and endorsing sustainable energy practices. The interior design complements this with its efficient use of space through modular kitchen, bathroom, storage, sleeping units, and mezzanine floors.
Prefabricated wall panels, along with modular furniture, are factory-produced and assembled on-site, reducing the reliance on conventional, wet construction methods. This approach accelerates the construction process, diminishes the environmental footprint, and supports our commitment to eco-friendly, low-carbon solutions.
In conclusion, the community-centric initiatives, sustainable design, and efficient building techniques of this project redefine the standards for urban village redevelopment
