More Design Office has renovated the Qing Dynasty Post Office in Shanghai, China.

This project is the transformation of a canal-side Qing Dynasty Post Office into a dynamic community social hub.

"Our approach combines sensitive renovation techniques with modern upgrades to create a space that celebrates the tradition of information sharing and brings the history of the postal service to life for a new generation," said More Design Office.

By preserving the building's original features and integrating new elements, More Design Office has successfully revitalised the post office into an exhibition, museum, café and lecture space, fostering community engagement and cultural exchange.

This project has been longlisted in the sustainable renovation category of Dezeen Awards 2023.
