Text description provided by the architects. Located in the Jiaochuan Subdistrict community of Zhenhai District, Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, the project addresses the challenges faced by podium commercial spaces under the impact of shifting consumer patterns and the rise of online commerce. Struggling to survive, these commercial spaces have seen stagnant utilization and maintenance, with their original business formats nearly eroded. The key to revitalizing this area lies in understanding the demographics and genuine needs of nearby residents. With a population dominated by elderly individuals and relocated residents, daily shopping and leisure activities are their primary demands. To address this, we introduced a fresh market and small-scale public spaces—pocket parks—into the neighborhood, using lifestyle-driven strategies to breathe new life into the area.
