"Warehouse within a Warehouse" Media Center / Ray&Emilio Studio

“仓库中的仓库”媒体中心由旧工业建筑改造而成，建筑位于杭州老城区，建筑师需要将一座废弃的军用仓库改造为工业设计产品展示大厅和媒体发布中心，项目业主Bo Le Design是一家具有高度影响力的工业设计公司，他们希望能够满足多方需求，诸如创新工业产品的展示、小型艺术展览的举办、行业新品的发布，以及艺术讲座等等，当人们首次进入到这个空间时，目光就会被木结构倾斜屋顶所吸引，这些部位应用了三角形态进行连接，形成井然有序的交叉关系，这座仓库曾经经历过翻新与改造，屋面上安装有玻璃采光顶，因此仓库内部就拥有充足的自然采光，建筑师则希望保留完整的信息，因为它具有曾经军用仓库的历史意义，同时还有改造后的各项痕迹，建筑师就此更加深入地探索了原场地的空间特色，强调了木结构的力量感，通过采光顶让光线进入室内，打造独特的内部空间效果，让工业产品拥有专属的展示空间。

Text description provided by the architects. The "Warehouse within a Warehouse" Media Center is a renovation project of an old industrial building. Located in Mantoushan, the old city area of Hangzhou, it involves transforming an abandoned No. 18 military supply warehouse into an industrial design product exhibition hall and media release center. The owner, Bo Le Design, is a highly influential industrial design company that aims to meet various needs such as showcasing innovative industrial products, hosting small art exhibitions, seasonal releases of new products in the industry, and artistic lectures. Upon entering this space for the first time, one's eyes are drawn to the sloping roof supported by wooden structures with direct and efficient triangular connections forming intersecting relationships throughout. The warehouse had previously undergone renovations with a glass roof installed at its ridge allowing ample natural light inside. We hope to preserve complete information about this place: its historical significance as an old military warehouse and traces left behind after transformation. This requires us to deeply explore the unique spatial charm of the original site while enhancing the sense of strength inherent in these wooden structures and fully utilizing natural light introduced through skylights—creating a distinct internal space tailored specifically for displaying industrial products or launching new ones.







“仓库中的仓库”这一名称也来源于建筑师们对这一功能的偏好，前半部分代表了结构形态，而中间部分则表达了入口，人们可以清晰地看到结构形态，相较于传统的住宅而言，“仓库”更加具有真实性，传统住宅的主入口很少设计在山墙部分，但是仓库却可以这么做，这是一个纯粹的竖向空间，类似于西方的长条形教堂，建筑师希望构思出全新的空间，这就像是传统巴西利卡，强调仓库空间的基本特征，比如对于空间进深的感知，而这种进深感则来源于分段偏移技术，强调了空间中的分层维度延伸感。

Naming it "Warehouse within a Warehouse" also stems from our fascination with this word itself—the top part represents structure while middle signifies entrance; we can see from its structural composition that "warehouse" truly embodies authenticity when compared against traditional residential buildings where entry rarely occurs via gable walls but warehouses allow for such access instead—a pure vertical depth similar to Western basilicas formed directly by their underlying structure components. We envision creating something entirely novel—an updated version akin to Brazilian Basilica architecture—that strengthens essential characteristics associated with warehousing spaces including heightened perception towards their profound depths achieved through segmental displacement techniques emphasizing layered dimensions extending infinitely into space.





仓库的原始功能适用于存储物品，但是经过改造后，这里不仅仅具有存储功能，同时也强调了工业产品的真实特征，那便是“物”，其中的价值存在于创新，建筑师心手合一地让“物”拥有灵魂，同时也拥有了额外的价值，这和空间的塑造类似，建筑师们不断地挖掘原始的空间价值，赋予其精神内涵，这并非简单的改造，“新”与“旧”之间的关系呈现动态形式，并非体量上的变化，建筑师的设计是希望两种结构能够相互影响，希望它们能够交融，而不仅仅是单纯的对比或结合，因为其中存在于两种相互作用的复杂元素，因此建筑师拓展了“新”仓库的结构，比如倾斜的屋面，他们在现有的构件中选择了复杂的连接体，让全新的屋脊包含了旧结构，构成高效的框架装置，让人们进一步了解到结构的复杂性，最终，旧结构自上而下，新结构自下而上，在空间中形成了全新且动态的对话。

Warehouses were originally meant for storage purposes; however post-renovation they serve not only as places exhibiting objects but highlight authentic attributes of industrial products—namely, their nature as "objects." The value lies in creation and imbuing objects with soul through a state where heart and hand are unified, granting them additional worth. This parallels the process we undertook to create this space—a construction that unearths its original spatial value while endowing it with spirit rather than making abrupt changes.  The relationship between the "new warehouse" within the "old warehouse" is dynamic. It goes beyond mere containment on a volumetric level; our design aims for an interplay between these two structures. We hope they intersect at certain points instead of being limited to contrast or fusion alone—an intricate entanglement resulting from interactions between new and old elements. Thus, we extended the structure of the "new warehouse," including its newly formed sloping rooflines upwards by selecting complex junctions among existing components below—the new ridge section encloses intersections created by older structures effectively serving as framing devices—to enhance people's perception towards structural complexity. While old structures descend from top downwards, new ones rise up from bottom creating an entirely fresh dialogue in-between regions.



这种相互作用不仅仅局限于独立的物理空间，由于天窗贯穿整个空间，自然采光由上至下延伸，而人工照明则由下至上发散，与自然光源构成了层次上的交叉，这是一种来源于“仓库”的多层次关系，就结构而言，最为密集的展示区沿着最外侧部分布局，连接着来源于原有建筑的开口，这些开口的主要目的是让自然光线进入室内，这样的转变创造了积极空间与消极空间之间的转换，引导着人们在探索的过程中将注意力放在微妙的视觉变化里，建筑师的目标便是让人们在空间中拥有动态且连续的体验。

This interplay isn't confined solely within physical architecture; due to skylights present throughout spaces naturally lit cascades downward whereas artificial lighting installed along newer sections emanates upward forming another layer of intersectional selection alongside natural light sources.  A hierarchical relationship encapsulated by “warehouse” unfolds gradually: As layers decrease structurally speaking,the most densely packed display area emerges enveloping outermost parts connecting windows found in pre-existing buildings via openings designed specifically for admitting light into interior spaces—this constant transformation creates positive-negative exchanges guiding observers' attention toward subtle visual cues unintentionally encountered during exploration—we aim for visitors' experience inside this space to be both dynamic and continuous.  







倾斜的屋顶使得整个空间形态就如同汉字“仓”，这构成了一个三维的路演剧场，空间随着屋面的坡度有秩序地排列，让人们更好地感受空间构成，这个剧场空间满足了大部分工业产品的发布需求，随着人们感受到高度的变化，他们能够更加敏锐地发现隐藏于结构之后的潜力，在这个过程中，人们逐步意识到，全新的“仓库”虽然有着简洁的外表，但是它有着密切相关的功能空间。

Following suit with inclined roofs shaped like Chinese character '仓',a three-dimensional roadshow theater forms naturally—one row after another arranged according to roof slope allowing individuals to situate themselves along this gradient—this theater space caters well to the majority of industrial product launches. As people perceive different heights, they become more acutely aware of potential hidden behind these structures and experience roof slope variations in diverse physical conditions; during this process, it gradually becomes clear that although the new '仓' structure appears simple on its surface,it is closely related to functional usage,cavity spaces,and other vital aspects.
