SPARK在对克拉码头和升禧艺廊等建筑的创新改造方面享有盛名。GRiD是这一叙事的下一章。一个以青年为中心的商场和教育中心位于新加坡Selegie艺术区的中心位置。它夹在相邻的艺术学校（SOTA）和几个破旧的购物商场之间。GRiD是对现有建筑进行充满活力的改造的一个很好的例子，它通过积极的再利用而不是全盘拆除和重新建造来扩展其社区的意义。将GRiD的街角改造成一个 “灯塔 “和吸引物，并容纳更多的高收入F+B单元，是SPARK的标志性姿态，也是对当地商店夜间照明的文化 “点头”。一个新的 “社交楼梯”，是这个充满活力的新角落的关键组成部分，位于SOTA对面，将人流引向地下室的 “食品店”。楼梯是与朋友放松的地方，观看屏幕上的节目或欣赏GRiD以艺术为中心的租户的现场表演。角落商店和社交楼梯已成为内容创作者和经验寻求者的充满活力的数字一代友好的 “Instagrammer “画布。GRiD在设计上特意将其与周围的邻居区分开来。外部的能量被带入内部空间，用霓虹灯和超大的功利性图形重新诠释了后工业化的美学。

SPARK has a reputation for the innovative transformation of buildings such as Clarke Quay and Starhill Gallery.GRiD is the next chapter in this narrative. A youth-focused mall and education hub sits at the heart of Singapore’s Selegie Arts District. Sandwiched between the adjacent School of the Arts (SOTA) and several time-worn shopping malls. GRiD is a great example of the vibrant retrofitting of an existing building that extends its community relevance through positive reuse rather than wholesale demolition and re-construction. The metamorphosis of GRiD’s street corner into a “beacon” and attractor as well as housing an increased quantum of high revenue-generating F+B units is SPARK’s signature gesture and a cultural “nod” to the night-time luminosity of the local shophouses. A new ‘social stair’, a key component of the dynamic new corner is located opposite SOTA driving footfall to “food joints” in the basement. The stair is the place to relax with friends, watch onscreen shows or enjoy live performances by GRiD’s arts-focused tenants. The corner shops and social stairs have become a vibrant digital generation-friendly “Instagrammer” canvas for content creators and experience seekers. The GRiD has been deliberately designed to stand out from its neighbors. The energy of the exterior is carried into the interior spaces, redolent of a post-industrial aesthetic with neon lights and supersized utilitarian graphics.

GRiD位于新加坡艺术区的中心，夹在SOTA（艺术学校）和新加坡老一代的两个购物中心Park Lane和和平中心之间。GRiD是一个很好的例子，它将一栋濒临倒闭的建筑积极改造成以社会为重点的青年零售和教育中心，为社区服务。升级工作的核心目的是通过社会互动、增加可及性以及对自我和社区的庆祝来提高资产价值。

GRiD sits at the heart of Singapore’s Arts District， sandwiched between SOTA (School of the Arts) and 2 of Singapore’s older generation of shopping malls Park Lane and Peace Centre. GRiD is a great example of a positive transformation of a failing building into socially-focused youth retail and education hub for the community. The upgrading work is centered on the core purpose of increasing asset value through social interaction, increased accessibility, and the celebration of self and community.

建筑形象的转变。主要的姿态是改造建筑的角落，它的关键地址，以及通往街道的门槛。重新设计的角落成为建筑的 “灯塔 “和吸引者，一个充满活力的数字一代友好的 “instagrammer “画布，供内容创作者和体验者使用。多层次的高租金 “旗舰 “角落是将低租金价值的商店从建筑内部的深处移到容易接近和高能见度的街角的结果。低价值的商店被 “空出”，以创造视觉和空间上的联系，从底层到地下室的双体积体育馆。

Transformation of Building Image. The primary gesture is the transformation of the building’s corner, its key address, and threshold to the street. The reenvisioned corner becomes the building “beacon” and attractor, a vibrant digital generation friendly “instagrammer” canvas for content creators, and experience seekers. The multilevel high rent ‘flagship’ corner is the result of moving low rental value shops from deep parts of the building interior to the easily accessible and high visibility street corner. The low value shops were “voided” out to create visual and spatial connections from the ground floor into a double volume gymnasium in the basement.

项目组合以适应客户的目标。越来越多的以年轻人为中心的 “食品店 “位于转型的角落，取代了一个没有生产力的4层楼高的空地。新的街角为露天餐饮空间提供了便利，它的露台增加了进出建筑的能见度，重要的是支撑了城市互动的概念。
可出租面积增加的主要事实。
– 关键转角处的面积。50%
沿着街面的面积：35

Programmatic mix to suit Client objectives. An increased quantum of youth-focused “food joints” are located at transformed corner, replacing an unproductive 4-storey void. The new corner facilitates great Al fresco dining spaces with terraces that increase visibility to and from the building and importantly underpinning the notion of urban interaction.
Key facts on leasable area increase:
• Area at key corner threshold: 50%
Area along the street front: 35%

社会阶梯。一个新的 “社交楼梯 “被引入到艺术学校（SOTA）旁边，这是一个充满活力的新角落的重要组成部分，也是与朋友在长椅上观看屏幕上的节目或现场表演，在一个自然通风的三层空间里放松的地方。楼梯体量为餐厅提供了更多的立面，为艺术区的城市纹理创造了一个以社交为中心的补充。社交楼梯提供了通往地下室、美食街和其他 “吸引人 “的设施，如 “社交盥洗室”、公共学习和工作区、自动售货机和储物柜，所有这些设计都是为了将功利性功能转化为社交空间。

Social Stair. A new ‘social stair’ is introduced adjacent to the School of the Arts (SOTA), an important part of the dynamic new corner and place to relax with friends on benches watching shows onscreen, or live performances, in a naturally ventilated triple volume space. The stair volume provides more façade are for the restaurants and creates a socially-focused addition to the arts district urban grain. The social staircase provides direct access to the basement, food street, and other “attractor” facilities like the ‘social washroom’, public study & work zones, vending machines & lockers, all designed to transform utilitarian functions into social spaces.

社交盥洗室。移动设备和社交媒体对日常生活的影响，激发了SPARK将功利性空间设计成积极的场所，以便在购物、教育或工作之间的休息时间，进行偶遇、闲谈和形象创作。社交盥洗室定制的后工业化洗脸盆和厕所隔间被设计成 “照相馆 “的背景，其上的超级图形促使人们自发地进行有趣和意外的自拍。

Social Washroom. The impact of mobile gadgets and social media on everyday life, inspired SPARK’s design of utilitarian space into positive places for chance meetings, gossip sessions, and image creation while taking a break between shopping, education, or work. The social washroom’s bespoke post-industrial washbasin and WC cubicles are designed to be “photobooth” backdrops with super graphics which prompt fun and unexpected spontaneous selfies.

品牌设计。GRiD. GRiD的新角落餐厅和内部是一个积极的社会空间的融合，有多个自我表达的平台，位于城市的交界处，这里的人流活力和能量在不断的变化。GRiD “建筑和品牌名称是由设计团队开发的，并融入了外墙、入口、路标和内部设计。

Branding Design. GRiD. The new corner restaurants and interior of GRiD are a positive convergence of social spaces with multiple platforms for self-expression located at a city junction which is in a constant flux of people flow vibrancy and energy. Here the building is graphically personalized with a slot machine style- jackpot GRiD Logo, the letter “i” representing “self”.“GRiD” building and brand name was developed by the design team and integrated into the design of the facade, entrances, wayfinding, and interior design.

通过图形化的室内设计和导引系统设置舞台。后工业化的材料色调体现了grunge、自由式表达和街机霓虹灯的精神，使GRiD与它的中性邻居产生了代沟，而从街对面灯火通明的店面中获得了多彩的特征。超大的道路标记图形和霓虹灯标志是一个真实的舞台，它为GRiD的城市主题所支持的人员和活动设置了一个流动的空间。城市图形主题引导用户从街道到地下室，通过自动扶梯的空隙和电梯大厅到位于建筑上层的餐厅、商店和教育园区。弹出式商店、远程工作/学习区和社会共享空间鼓励公共活动、公众互动和空间共享。

Setting the stage with graphic interior design and wayfinding. The post-industrial material palette embodying the spirit of grunge, freestyle expression and arcade neon renders GRiD generationally different to its neutral neighbours, instead taking its colourful character from the vibrantly illuminated shophouses across the street. The supersized road marking graphics and neon logos are a real-life stage that set a flux of people and activities supported by GRiD’s urban theme. The urban graphic theme guides users around the building from street to basement and up through the escalator voids and lift lobbies to the restaurants, shops and education campus located at the building’s upper levels. Pop-up stores, remote-working / study zones, and social shared spaces encourage communal events, public interaction and space sharing.

地面图形和天花板图案结合了抽象和超大版本的街道方向指示牌和道路标记。天花板上的指示牌引导游客前往GRiD内主要的吸引人的社会设施和租赁区。图形图标的设计是为了让人感觉到年轻人的不自觉和运动。SPARK将GRiD转变为一个再生的 “存在 “之地。一个学习校园、工作场所，一个社交、购物、饮食和与当地艺术社区联系的地方。一个外向型的目的地，它是社交的、体验的、在一个非主流地点的真实 “本地 “体验。

Floor graphics and ceiling patterns incorporate abstract and supersized versions of street directional signage and road markings. Ceiling directional signs guide visitors to key attractor social facilities and tenancy areas within GRiD. Graphic icons are designed to casual youthful insouciance and motion.SPARK has transformed GRiD into a regenerated place to “be”. A learning campus, workplace, a place to socialize, shop, eat and connect with the local arts community. An outwardly looking destination that is social, experiential, and an authentic “local” experience in an offbeat location.
