Old House Shopfront Renovation: An Insertional Renovation with Separation of Old and New

Old House Storefront Renovation: Inserted Renovation with New and Old Detachment
Renovate the storefront on this old building photo, adopting a Chipperfield-esque relationship between new and old: the existing facade surface of washed aggregate, terrazzo, or old tiles is completely preserved, including traces of mottling and repairs; only within the existing opening on the ground floor is a new set of extremely thin metal frames and large glass panels inserted, leaving a clear recessed gap between the new and old, with no artificial aging transition. The original old window frames, moldings, and parapet remain untouched. Lighting uses hidden linear lights to wash the texture of the old facade from bottom to top, while the newly inserted glass part relies on interior light penetration. Retain the original building volume, opening positions, adjacent streetscape, and camera angle. Avoid: artificial aging materials, covering the original facade, removing original moldings, changing the shooting angle.

在這張老建築照片上進行店面改造,採取奇普菲爾德式的新舊關係:洗石子、磨石子或舊磁磚的立面表層完整保留,包括斑駁與修補的痕跡;僅在一樓的既有開口之內插入一組全新的極細金屬框與大片玻璃,新舊之間留出一道清楚的凹縫脫開,不做任何仿舊的過渡。原有的老窗框、線腳與女兒牆維持不動。照明以隱藏的線型燈由下往上洗亮老立面的質地,新插入的玻璃部分則靠室內透光。保留原建築量體、開口位置、相鄰街景與相機視角。避免:仿舊材料、覆蓋原立面、拆除原有線腳、改變拍攝角度。
