在广州天河区的一个老住宅楼下，芝作室将空置的城市边角改头换面成为Atelier Peter Fong: 一个工作室与咖啡馆。一系列的白色体块将原本凌乱的场地净化，创造出引人驻足的宁静空间。

Located in a residential neighborhood next to the Tianhe district in central Guangzhou, Atelier Peter Fong by Lukstudio revives an empty corner lot into both an office and a cafe. Through a series of clean white volumes, the design purifies the existing chaotic site to create a calm yet inviting atmosphere.

在建筑外部，漂浮的轻盈铝板将白色体块归于其下，又像一条线划出新旧的交界。三个并列的白色盒子由内穿出，构成统一的外立面。而盒子间留出的‘之间地带’如同城市街巷的延续，吸引着过路行人。每一个白色盒子都包含着不同的功能：咖啡厅，‘头脑风暴’区，会议室和休闲区。盒子‘之间’以暖灰色调处理，顶部呈现原有结构，与纯白的盒子形成对比。

From the outside, a floating aluminum canopy connects the volumes together, while delineating between the old and the new. Three boxes stick out from the interior, composing a coherent façade while creating areas in-between like urban alleys that draw people in from the street. Each box contains a distinct program; café, brainstorming area, meeting room and a break-out lounge. In contrast to the pristine forms, the voids are painted gray and left with the original structural ceiling.

根据对功能需求和周边环境的细致推敲，芝作室在体块里外“雕刻”出不同的开口与凹凸。大的开口将咖啡厅里外贯通，并将窗外绿景框出。在室内，局部挖空的天花板与木饰面壁龛营造出亲近舒适的气氛。同样的手法也应用于办公空间入口，三角形门厅的底部留空而成一个静谧的禅意山水，它不但是内部办公的景观焦点，也在视觉上将室内外空间连接。

Following a process of meticulous spatial carving, openings and niches are shaped within the volumes. Large cut-outs connect the café to the exterior and frame the surrounding greenery. On the inside, white ceiling pockets and wooden niches create a sense of intimacy. The office entry is also carved at its edge to feature a peaceful Zen garden, which becomes a focal point and visually connects the different parts of the office together.

材质的运用进一步定义空间。平滑的白色墙壁与水磨石地板占据了主要的公共空间，如同画布捕获着光与影；半透明墙面在公共咖啡馆与工作场所间造成微妙联系；更私密的区域多选用自然原材，例如‘头脑风暴’区的连续木材表面以及休息区中的砖石墙面。

The selection of materials further enhances the pure definition of the spaces. Smooth surfaces such as white walls and terrazzo flooring dominate the main space, serving as a canvas to capture light and shadow. The brainstorming box is lined with polycarbonate panels that form a subtle visual connection between the café and the workplace. Intimate areas are characterized by organic elements; such as continuous timber panels in the brainstorming zone and remnants of an existing brick wall in the lounge.

通过咖啡文化与联合办公相结合的模式，Atelier Peter Fong将一个现代概念的社交模式融入到寻常邻里中。一个被遗忘的城市边角通过设计成为社交热点，这脱胎换骨的转变诠释了建筑的介入可以如何为城市注入新活力，激活社区再发展。

Combining artisanal café culture with a collaborative co-working space, Atelier Peter Fong adapts a contemporary social model to a local Chinese neighborhood. The complete transformation of a forgotten site into a destination demonstrates how architectural interventions can activate the streetscape and enhance nearby communities.
