Text description provided by the architects. Minzu Lane Coffee is located on Minzu Road, a historic street in Zhongshan layered with urban memory. The existing building is a traditional qilou dating back to the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, constructed with brick masonry and a timber frame, and still retaining its original firewalls. The intervention responds to two parallel challenges: improving the long and narrow interior to accommodate the operational needs of a café, while serving as an incremental renewal that reconnects the building with the surrounding historic streetscape.
