Duolun apartments revamp
Print Edition
Three old apartment buildings on the historic Duolun Road will be renovated to add to the ambience of the heritage-listed area.
Two six-story buildings and a five-story residential block in the 201 Duolun Road community will have their appearance refurbished, public facilities renovated and environment improved, according to the Sichuan Road N. Subdistrict.
The buildings, constructed in the 1980s, are tucked away among historic structures, where many renowned writers such Lu Xun (1881-1936), Mao Dun (1896-1981) and Xia Yan (1900-1995) once worked or lived.
The facade of the buildings will be repainted in red and white, similar to the historic villas and houses along the road.
The current flat roofs will be redeveloped with slopes to prevent rain leaking in.
Uniform awnings, laundry racks, air-conditioner covers and anti-theft windows will be installed.
“Though these buildings are away from the historical structures on both sides of the Duolun Road, the image of the whole community will be largely improved with the project,” an official with the subdistrict said.
The authority will also revamp the corridors, walls, ceilings and stairways in public areas. The authority is soliciting opinions from the residents for more renovations in the neighborhood.
The subdistrict plans to renovate a total of 27,000 square meters of old apartment buildings this year. Most of them were built in the 1980s and are in poor condition.
