Where to go in Shanghai on weekends, "Slow Pine" SOM LAND

"Slow Pine" comes from the traditional Chinese color "Wind into Pine Slow", which is the warm green in the dappled shadows of trees. It is a relaxed state, and also a slow-paced life. Located on Chongming Island in Shanghai, "Slow Pine" SOM LAND is a vacation space that combines nature and rural areas, local customs and handcrafts. In the overall space arrangement and planning of Slow Pine, the natural and humanistic style is the first priority. The outdoor garden design of Slow Pine is a style planning based on the natural environment. In the construction of the garden, the concept of "low maintenance" and "let plants grow naturally" is adopted. At the same time, the two old houses standing in it, under the consensus with the person in charge of Slow Pine, the vacation space is executed and designed in the form of a renovation project. The functional planning is: one building serves as the main building (accommodation building), with three floors; the other is an annex building, with one floor. The interior of the building is re-planned by "increasing the number of floors", "adjusting the room layout", "staircase position", etc., while the exterior of the building is re-transformed for "roof", "windows" and "exterior wall decoration surface". In the main building, a total of 552 square meters of space mainly provides accommodation functions. The original floor was two floors, and it was adjusted to three floors in terms of feasibility. The original divided space was too small in single area, the room shape was narrow and long, and the original staircase structure position blocked the view of the national protective forest. Therefore, the position of the staircase was adjusted in the design, and it was placed in the middle position on the north side of the building to maximize the optimization of the building's movement line and visual range. At the same time, the existing protruding rectangular building structure balcony can help to meet the room area and layout requirements appropriately, achieving a balance of room quantity and size. In the annex building, the original building allocates its space reasonably. The original building function was used as a tool room, and after the renovation, the main function of the annex building is as a kitchen, dining area, reception area and bathroom.
