Exploring the Industrial Aesthetic in Interiors Through Corten Tiles

In recent decades, the industrial style has strongly attracted the attention of architects, designers and homeowners. However, few know its true origin. Following the rise of industrialization in the United States during the 1950s, many old industrial spaces, such as warehouses or factories, were abandoned in areas like New York's Soho. As a consequence, prices fell and became affordable housing alternatives for city dwellers. These new repurposed spaces were characterized by an aesthetic that mixed raw and exposed materials with modern elements and technologies, generating a strong aesthetic identity that was as rustic as it was sophisticated.

The service station beside Suzhou RiverBridge is located on the first floor of the ceramic building at the corner of Guangfu Road, and Wuzhen Road. The ceramic building is the housing of Shanghai Ceramic Corporation, which was completed in 1990. The building's curved facade faces the corner, its horizontal lines are reinforced by long horizontal Windows, and its color-gradient painted exterior and its descending shape at the northeast corner make it stand out from the usual 20th-century residential buildings. The ground floor of the building used to be hardware, auto repair, etc., which is disconnected from the daily life of residents. Entrusted by the street, we build this place into a community post station integrating fitness, reading, community activities, and volunteer services.
