Signyan Design delivers Canopée Café and Sihai Club

Design of the sales office in Huguang, Chongqing, China

Signyan Design has recently completed work on its latest project in Chongqing, China.This project consists of Canopée Café and Sihai Club, and stands up and down along the mountainous area, integrating into the “ladder style” traditional mountain blocks in Chongqing. It adjoins Huguang Club and overlooks East Watergate. In Xie Ke’s opinion, it is “the only place close to my childhood memory in Chongqing”.

尚壹扬设计工作室最近完成了位于中国重庆的最新项目。这组建筑项目由Canopée Café树冠咖啡和四海会馆组成，依山地起落，上下延伸，融入了重庆传统山地街区的“云梯式”建筑风格。它毗邻湖广会馆，俯瞰东水门。在谢柯看来，它是“重庆城里仅存的贴近儿时记忆的地方”。

The origin and starting point of the current design are the past and the prior urban status. Xie Ke and Zhu Jianping “understood each other at first sight” as a result of the agreement on urban renewal. Via design, they contributed to an urban renewal initiative.

当前会馆设计的起源和出发点是过去的时光和城市留存的状态。谢柯和朱建平“一见如故”，因为他们对城市更新的共同认同。以设计为媒，介入一场城市更新。

Instead of emphasizing the “sales nature” of the sales office, Xie Ke and the owner, Shenzhen Licheng, opted to build a proper cafe and a clubhouse. Without a question, this is a risk. Yet, the daily average coffee sales of 200 cups and the countless images shared on social media have shown that Xie and Zhu were 100% correct.

谢柯和业主深圳里城不强调售楼处的“销售性质”，而选择建造了一个合适的咖啡厅和会所。毫无疑问，这是一种风险，一场赌博。然而，每天平均200杯的咖啡销售和无数在社交媒体上分享的图片表明，谢柯和朱建平是正确的。

01.This project is more than design.

这个项目不仅仅是设计。

If the “relationships” between people and cities, communities, life… in memory are interrupted and reshaped by urbanization, people seem to be duckweed without roots.

如果城市化打断和重新塑造了人与城市、社区、生活等方面的“关系”，人们就像没有根的浮萍。因此，在城市更新中，除了设计美学外，还需要考虑人的需求和情感诉求，以重建人与城市、社区、生活等之间的联系。只有这样，城市才能成为真正意义上的人居环境，而不是简单的建筑和设施的堆砌。
