Up to now, Jing 'an Mountain Villa is still the largest new residential group in Lane in Shanghai, belonging to the protected building and core area of Nanjing West Road historical and cultural features protection area approved by the Shanghai Municipal People's Government in 2005. Except one building, all buildings in the area are excellent historical protection buildings. Jing 'an Villa can be said to be a microcosm of Shanghai's residential buildings, with certain representativeness.

In 1930s, Zhang Jingjiang, a teacher of Chiang Kai-shek, built Jing 'an Villa in the upper corner. At that time, the rent was too high and had to be paid by gold bars. Therefore, most of the first residents are senior white-collar workers working in foreign companies in Shanghai. In Lust, Caution, Zhang Ailing wrote about the Indian jewelry store, sibillat leather goods store and Commander Kai Cafe located along Nanjing West Road 1025 Lane. Commander Kay hasn't moved for decades, and Ang Lee came here to shoot the scenery in Lust, Caution. Today, Jing 'an Villa is the most completely preserved new residential group in Shanghai Lane. 183 There are more than 900 old-fashioned red brick houses, and the property right houses have exceeded 80,000 yuan/square meter.

In 1930s and 1940s, many famous families and celebrities lived here, and Cai Yuanpei also lived at No.52 Jing 'an Villa, where he started his revolutionary work and education. Yu Youren once lived in Jing 'an Mountain Villa, where he studied and edited two rough wooden barrels and standard cursive script. Kong Xiangxi bought most of Jing 'an villa industry on 1942, and then entrusted American commercial companies in China to rent it.

As the representative of old Shanghai's new-style residential buildings in Lane, its unique charm and unique customs still attract many film and television works to shoot, even the film Lust, Caution was shot in Jing 'an Villa.

Jing 'an Villa, the largest new-style Lane residence in Shanghai, and Zhangjia Garden, the largest existing Shikumen community, are about to take on a new look. The reporter learned yesterday that two model houses in Jing 'an Mountain Villa were rebuilt at the end of this month. The facade adopted a brand-new way of "replenishing the old with the old", using contemporary red bricks to repair the wall, and also took the original style of the old building. This kind of protection has also been affirmed by experts.

In addition, drawing lessons from Hollywood's "Avenue of Stars", Weihai Road Cultural Media Avenue will start laying 160 logo bricks next week. It is hoped that the cultural imprint of this street can be highlighted in a unique way.

Take a "trade-in" approach.

Yesterday, the reporter saw in the west section of Weihai Road that several red brick walls of Jing 'an Villa, which were obviously weathered and corroded by the years, were being cut open. The construction unit will slice the red bricks of the same age shipped from Li Dazhong and repair them. According to the construction party, the original red brick wall of Jing 'an Villa has been cleaned and partially repaired, and coated with waterproof protective agent. The remodeler also specially compared the old photos found in the municipal archives, and restored the khaki square wall decoration on the villa exterior wall to its original state.

Not only the exterior wall, but also the public kitchen and bathroom of Jing 'an Mountain Villa are being renovated. The reporter saw in a renovated public kitchen that the floor, wall tiles and chandeliers have been re-laid and installed. It is reported that bathtubs, buckets and other facilities that have been damaged for many years in public toilets will also be replaced with new ones.

Jing 'an Villa was built in 1932, and it is still the largest newly-built residential group in Shanghai Lane. Even though the years are getting older, judging from this transformation, the new look of Jing 'an Villa will not be inappropriate for the unique charm and unique customs of old Shanghai. After the interior and exterior decoration of two model houses are completed ahead of schedule at the end of this month, six buildings will be completed in June165438+1October, and all 26 old houses will be renovated by the end of March next year.

Zhangjia Garden is the largest Shikumen community in Shanghai. This renovation is mainly to repair the blue bricks and red tiles on the facade of the house, which will be completed before the end of this year. Sun Chunsheng's Sun Apartment, originally known as the "real estate tycoon" in the 1920s and 1930s, also cleaned the facade and repainted it with wrought iron ornaments. Weihai Road:

Paving 160 Marking Paving Brick

With the transformation of old buildings, Weihai Road itself is also changing. The reporter saw yesterday that in order to match the style of the old buildings on both sides of the road, the old buildings on both sides of Weihai Road were renovated into red brick walls, and the signboards of all kinds of small shops on the street were all replaced with those with black LED backlights. The style is close to Nanjing West Road. The original shutter door is missing. It is said that the anti-theft method will be changed to "install infrared monitoring probes in all stores". At the same time, small shops along Weihai Road are also being replaced, and the former auto parts street is replaced by creative shops and handmade shops. The renovation of Weihai Road from Shaanxi Road to Maoming Road will be completed by the end of this month, and the overall renovation of Weihai Road with a total length of1.350m along the street will be completed by the end of this year.

According to relevant persons of Weihai Road Reconstruction Project Team, a brick is laid every15m on the pavement of Weihai Road, and a total of 160 bricks are laid. Yesterday, the reporter saw a brick made in advance. On the 60×60 cm square blue-gray granite brick, there is a Chinese and English logo of "Weihai Road International Cultural Media Avenue" and a "communication". Next week, the first brick will be laid on Weihai Road.165438+1early October will be completed.

In this regard, Zheng, a researcher at the Institute of History of Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, said that paving bricks on the sidewalk can highlight the theme image and characteristics of this street and enhance its personality. There are similar practices abroad. In this city, he has never heard of similar practices on other roads.
