Yard Studio introduces the City Lounge Station, a warm and low-key shelter for city workers in Ningbo's downtown area, completed in December 2022.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Yard Studio proudly presents the City Lounge Station, a unique project designed to provide a temporary homelike lounge in the heart of Ningbo's CBD. Located at the intersection of two bustling roads near the Tianyi Square subway station, this warm and special box serves as a cultural identity and a beacon of care in the city center. Offering a range of convenient services, including short breaks, drinking water, charging stations, and first-aid kits, the City Lounge Station is a welcoming refuge for those navigating the fast-paced city life.
The project's steel structure and box model design allow for mass production and distribution throughout the city. All components are prefabricated in the factory, enabling quick and efficient on-site assembly. Measuring 3.6m x 7.6m x 3.3m, with a total area of 28 square meters, the City Lounge Station stands as a testament to innovative urban design and thoughtful community integration.
