3 pillars of Nanfeng Yarn Factory

In the 1970s, more than 40% of the labor force in Hong Kong engaged in garments and textiles. However, as the industry moved northward, the number of spinning mills that had reached 40 were so far removed. Only the red characters of Nanfeng Textile Co., Ltd. are more than half of the bay. century.

The 3rd generation of Nanfeng Group, Zhang Tianlin, joined the family business in 2013. In the following year, he announced the conservation plan. The Mills, which lasted for 4 years and cost 700 million yuan, is now almost completed. In mid-term trial in November, the public will We can see the pillars of the first-generation Chuangpei, the textile culture exhibition and the experience of the retail three major support projects, as well as the team responsible for the new and old buildings and various community activities, “connecting” the industry to the future and the efforts of the residents of Tsuen Wan.

In 2014, the government converted the Xi Chai Wanjiao Industrial Zone in Tsuen Wan into a commercial use. The Central Yarn Factory has now demolished only the remaining sites. However, Zhang Tinglin, the granddaughter of Nan Feng’s founder Chen Tingxi, is concerned about historical heritage and has spared no effort to revitalize Nanfeng. 4, 5, 6 factories.

Xu Zhuangde, general manager of Nanfeng Design Department, said that the yarn mill used to be the lifeblood of Nanfeng. Its vitality continues to this day. “It was originally spinning, and it has become a warehouse for people in the past few years. Now it will do public and art-related activities. Linking and benefiting the community.” Xu’s team looked at the factory and the biggest problem was how to open up the space. At present, the yarn factory was originally placed on the ground iron gate and moved indoors as the reception decoration. The 6 factory has been demolished. The new inner street is in Baitianba, which is convenient for transportation to Baitianba Street and Qingshan Highway. The original platform of the 6th factory is also demolished. Reconstruction, so that it can carry the opening of the yarn mill garden.

Excluding the land price of 180 million yuan supplemented by the 6th factory, Nanfeng has to build metal pillars to consolidate the old buildings, but has always maintained the original budget of 700 million yuan. Xu Finger, 4, 5, and 6 factories are three independent factories, and now they must be connected to the unified The Mills. The 5th factory and the 6th factory ceilings all use glass to pick up the light; the strange floor height is The main problems that have not been foreseen in the past need to be overcome by small ladders and overpasses. For example, the multi-channel glass-metal bridges connecting the 5th and 6th factories seem to be completely balanced with the ground, but the essence is dark.

After careful consideration, the 6th factory with the highest floor has three exhibition rooms to show the old machines of the mills that can no longer be moved. The 5 factories built at the latest are higher than the other two factories, and they will accommodate the south of the cultivation enterprises.
