상하이 교외, KUU에 의해 설계된 도심광장 프로젝트는 폐기된 열차의 객차량을 이용, 새로운 타입의 소셜 스페이스를 생성한다. 오래된 기관차와 중국 식당차 2량, 그리고 동독 침대차 3량은 새롭게 신설된 글래스 파빌리온과 함께 소규모 광장을 구성하며 지역주민들의 다양한 이벤트를 지원한다. 광장에 사용된 벽돌벤치와 나무 테이블, 파이프를 가공한 가로등은 랜드스케이프와 함께 야외활동을 보장하는 스트리트 퍼니쳐로 제공된다.

in a suburb of shanghai, local practice KUU has converted six former train carriages into an inn. in addition to fitting the interiors of the old locomotive, two chinese dining cars and three east german sleepers, the design team added a new reception building to the site in order to form a small plaza.
allowing the train cars to remain as the focal point of the project, the reception is contained within a tall glazed pavilion, with the public square connecting the design. the outdoor furniture is designed as part of the landscape with bent pipe light fixtures integrated with brick benches and timber tables. wooden stools can be rearranged according to different events, while the recast cement floor pavers help establish a casual and organic environment.
