该项目位于绍兴市柯桥区鉴湖中的一座小岛，原为当地自来水厂的取水设施。场地建于1992年，最初包含六座建筑：泵房、变电所、行政办公楼、职工宿舍、取水码头及货物吊装码头。2001年，随着更大规模的区域性水厂建成，该场地逐步停用，此后长期闲置，直至2022年在本地乡村复兴与文化旅游发展的背景下被重新启用。改造后，原有建筑分别被转化为书店、咖啡馆、展览空间、观景亭及船坞，并由一套以细钢柱支撑的平屋顶连廊系统串联，形成新的整体功能布局。这座曾专用于市政运维与技术管理的封闭式岛屿，由此转变为面向公众开放的场所。

The project is located on a small island in Jianhu Lake, Keqiao, Shaoxing , and was originally built as a water intake facility for the local municipal waterworks. Constructed in 1992, the site originally contained six structures: a pump house, a substation, an administrative building, a staff dormitory, a water intake pier, and a cargo hoisting dock. In 2001, after a larger regional waterworks was completed, the site gradually fell into disuse. It remained abandoned until 2022, when it was reactivated within the context of local rural revitalization and cultural tourism development. After renovation, the original buildings were converted respectively into a bookstore, café, exhibition space, viewing pavilion, and boat dock, and were linked by a flat-roofed corridor system supported by slender steel columns, forming a new overall pattern of use. The once enclosed island, formerly dedicated to municipal maintenance and technical management, was thus transformed into a public place open to visitors.
