About

Nettleham Hall, an old building surrounded by farmland and hedgerows, is about to undergo a magnificent makeover. Despite a devastating fire and years of neglect, the ruins of the hall still hold fragments of its former grandeur. Taking advantage of Lincolnshire's tranquil setting and artistic heritage, the vision was to transform the hall into a center for the restoration of paintings and antiques. In addition to restoration work and craftsmanship, the renovated space will provide areas for recreation, offices, exhibitions, education in restoration techniques, and community events, breathing new life into this historic site while celebrating local arts and crafts traditions.For these broken items, we seek the cooperation of the antique market, which will be considered a useless burden, or recycle them after they are restored or creatively designed in a new way.

This center is a place where they can be safely stored. The site will be designed to house books, paintings, photographs, dyed fabrics, and other two-dimensional products, which will be sorted and processed to ensure their preservation and storage.

In addition to storage and preservation, the exhibition center and gallery together will serve as an educational center for local residents. It will provide an educational and active environment for visitors, showing them the workflow. The ultimate goal is to bring these meaningful old objects back to light, to make their existence more meaningful, and to allow people to continue to carry fond memories with them.

Site

Project location
Project location — The location of the building is located in the countryside not far from Lincolnshire, and the surrounding large area of land makes the building feel particularly quiet and secluded.
Observation
Observation — Many years have passed since the fire, and the building has long been taken over by nature. The dilapidated walls and upward vines have long been integrated with the building. One room that particularly attracts me is the dining room. Its walls are different from other rooms. There are rich layers, vines are spreading on the wall, I can feel the power of rebirth while seeing the dilapidated
Amend two models
Amend two models — Since I became interested in the walls of the dining room at the venue, this wall is like a piece of art for me. The symbiotic force of the dilapidated wall and vines gave me design inspiration, so I responded by weaving The wall I feel uses different materials to represent the different materials of the wall, and uses weaving techniques to respond to the close connection between the wall and the vines

Research and inspection

Recycling Restoration Center
Recycling Restoration Center — Lincolnshire has the largest antique market in the UK. Because it is old, there must be damaged items, oil paintings, books, maps, photos and so on. Because our theme is restoration, we can recycle these damaged items, and at the same time restore the damaged items to the meaning of value, and at the same time contribute to the protection of the environment
The objects of restoration in this restoration center are 2D items such as oil paintings, books, maps, cards, dyeing and weaving, because my concept of item restoration is the same as that of architectural restoration, and the architectural scale and restoration concept are used to the greatest extent.
Taking the restoration function as the focus of this case, the ground floor is an open area, the first floor is the restoration area, and part of the second floor is an outdoor roof garden

Introduction of Weaving Concept

Starting with the initial concept of the project, the concept of weaving will be used to design and restore future buildings and interior functions
Use the concept of weaving to design bricks to combine with the ruins, give new functions and forms while restoring, and create a sharp contrast with the old building materials
The main supporting material is a steel structure with hollow bricks. The color of the steel structure is blue. Because the original building is red brick, I chose blue as the contrasting color, which is the complementary color of red. The color contrast is more prominent. The color of the brick is white. The immaculate whiteness symbolizes hope, and both white and blue have a visual impact, making the dilapidated building more prominent in the contrast between old and new

Model display

The Ground floor is mainly the exhibition area and the open area, with spiral stairs and elevators designed for guests in need
This area is the focus of the design for the staff to repair the area, and the functions are designed in a people-oriented way to achieve a comfortable and convenient working environment for the staff
