#城市更新改造 The old factory has been reborn#
More than a year ago, in March 2023, the "Beijing Urban Renewal Regulations" was officially implemented, and Dongcheng District responded to the policy call and fully launched the renovation project of 30 old buildings, among which the epark (Xizhaosi Community) project located at No. 4 Xizhaosi Middle Street has attracted much attention. The project will carry out overall renovation and upgrading on the site of Xinghai Piano Factory, including the replacement of external windows, external wall insulation, road paving and greening, and the construction of three-dimensional parking buildings.
The renovation of the epark (Xizhaosi Community) project adopts cutting-edge technology and technology, selects environmentally friendly and low-carbon materials, and has a comprehensive energy saving rate of more than 15%. The project also uses intelligent design to monitor energy consumption data in real time and achieve visual energy-saving control.
Different from traditional office space, the park is designed to reduce costs and increase efficiency for enterprises, and makes it easy to settle in through scientific design and planning. ePark provides enterprises with 22 different apartment types to choose from, which can be rented according to workstation units, and the office units can be freely and flexibly combined, which is highly suitable for the needs of enterprises of different sizes and different development cycles.
In addition, all office units, from desks and chairs, filing cabinets, cloakcases, to desktop green plant ornaments, are provided by the park, which truly realizes the "bag settlement", which greatly saves the cost of manpower and material resources for the enterprise.
#连接无限可能 The Cultural and Creative Park has been reborn#
Stepping into the epark from Xizhaosi Middle Street, the 1,200-square-meter garden courtyard is the first thing that catches your eye, with multiple landscapes, pavilion benches, and flowers and plants scattered in an orderly manner, inadvertently restoring the original color of work and life.
On the south side of the garden courtyard is an office building, which mainly provides shared office services, and the overall design style presents a fashionable and modern industrial style. Each floor is equipped with a comprehensive sharing area of 100 to 300 square meters, which can meet various needs such as office, conference, reception, negotiation, roadshow, and release.
Yufei is an employee of the enterprises settled in the park, he is a short drama editor, and he likes to play a game of billiards with his partners next to the pothos wall in the hall on the first floor after work. "Creation needs inspiration, and in such a pleasant office environment, the relaxation and pleasure of body and mind can stimulate new creative ideas." Yu Fei said with a happy face.
And his colleagues prefer to go to the sofa, touch the keys of Xinghai Piano, and play a lyrical and melodious song "Daylily Flower". As an art office space jointly created by epark and Xinghai Group, the music lounge is a highlight of the comprehensive sharing area, which is equipped with Xinghai smart piano, which can be played or played automatically. Freshly ground coffee, melodious music, and ecological greenery invisibly stimulate more work inspiration and potential of space users, making work better.
Adhering to the mission of "connecting space with infinite possibilities", Beijing Yiyuan Innovation Office Service Co., Ltd., the operator of the park, not only creates a thoughtful office space, but also incorporates life and leisure facilities such as showers and mother and baby rooms into the space function planning around the concept of "balancing work and life", so that space users with different roles can enjoy convenience and care.
In addition, the Xinghai Art Center of nearly 1,300 square meters in the park allows everyone to "travel far" with music notes after work; The garden courtyard of about 1,200 square meters is an afternoon rest area and a natural living room; The full introduction of branded catering and the creation of a micro-business center not only allow the employees of the settled enterprises to get a satisfactory choice on the question of "what to eat for lunch", but also give the surrounding residents more new choices.
#艺术点亮生活 New model of front store and back factory#
The old factory has a "successor", and Xinghai Art Center is a social training institution wholly owned by Xinghai Group to carry out diversified art education for people of all ages. If your office is located in epark, you happen to be a musical instrument enthusiast, or a painting enthusiast, it is a good choice to go to Xinghai Art Center for "night school" after work.
Beijing Xinghai Piano Group Co., Ltd., formerly known as the People's Art Service Society, was founded on June 1, 1949, and has created many "China's firsts" in the history of the development of China's musical instrument industry. For example, the first musical instrument factory in New China was established, the first upright piano in New China was independently developed, and the first export of Chinese pianos was realized...... As a "double-material" enterprise of China's time-honored brand and Beijing's time-honored brand, Xinghai Group currently produces and sells about 20,000 pianos and more than 10,000 western wind instruments every year.
Looking at the Xinghai Art Center from afar, the walls are composed of three colors: Brown Brown, Bronze Brown, and Graphite Black, which is to match the black and white keys of the piano.
In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the center, you will see ballet practice clothes inlaid with feather patches, rose-colored ballet shoes, and the Xinghai piano standing quietly on the side.
Walking into the center, a 14-meter-long musical instrument wall is remembered with the pledge of "making good musical instruments for Chinese", and 17 kinds of Western musical instruments and 16 kinds of folk musical instruments in the exhibition area are all produced by Xinghai Group.
In the center of the instrument wall is a piano, and if you put your hand into the display area above the piano, all the instruments will be lit up, and they will play the "Yellow River Cantata" composed by Xian Xinghai. The manuscript of the composition of the song is framed on a display shelf.
Wang Shanshan, principal of Xinghai Art Center, said: "The center adopts a semi-open operation model, and community residents are welcome to sit in the staircase viewing area and experience the educational results of the children's drills. "Cultural activities for the people, students perform parent-child activities, and participate in street performances...... The distance between the residents of the community and the business is getting closer.
In terms of promoting the new model, Xinghai Group has built a new development pattern driven by the two-wheel drive of "advanced manufacturing + modern service industry". At Xinghai Art Center, the musical instruments in each classroom are manufactured by Xinghai Group. The teachers of the art center will collect first-hand feedback information and provide it to the manufacturing team, so as to realize the promotion of teaching and create a new model of social art training.
