Moving Studio - 搬家

In March we moved into a new studio because of the municipal program, our old studio and a large area around it will be knocked down. We were asked to move out before April, which means we only had three months to find a new home. We took action quickly and soon had several options. We finally chose the Creativity Warehouse to be our next working location.

When we started to pack, we found out how much stuff we really had in our studio. With everything taken out the studio floor was completely covered. We gathered cardboard boxes，classify different items and put them into the different boxes. We packed at least ten big boxes, which did not even include photography equipment. We must thank the moving company who were really good and very organized. Even though it took two trips to transferred all the items. Our big ancient Chinese wooden door and a plus two meters high mirror both very big and heavy, took 4 men to move each of them. When we moved in, the construction team had already finished the earlier stage of construction. We retained the general layout pattern of the old studio, but we changed floor into white gray and use a semitransparent creamy curtain to separate the equipment area and working area instead of the heavy black one. All of these factors made the new studio much brighter. All the furniture were retained and we reused the same planks to cover the outside wall. The new studio is near the Suzhou River, full of light, we all love the new environment. We welcome you are all to come visit.

今年3月我们搬进了新工作室，原先江宁路的办公地点由于市政规划，附近很大一块区域将被拆迁，我们被要求在四月前搬出，这期间我们只有3个月的时间来寻找新地方。于是我们马上行动，很快找了几个新地点的选择，我们最终选择了位于光复路政府保护区，四行仓库的创意仓库。

当我们开始打包我们的工作室时，我们才发现我们的东西还真不少，我们把东西都翻出来，顿时工作室里就满满的了。我们找来了很多纸板箱，把东西分类放入，放了有十来箱，这还不包括大多数摄影器材。这里不得不赞扬我们的搬场团队，他们把我们的物品在卡车车厢内放置得井井有条且十分妥当，尽管充分利用了空间，可还是运了两次才把东西运完，我们古老的大木门和一面两米多高的镜子着实花了很多力气去搬，要四五个人一起搬才搬得动。搬进新工作室的时候，施工团队已经做好了前期的装修，我们保留了原工作室的大致格局，但换了白灰色的地板，放器材的小储物间隔帘用半透明透光的米白色纱布代替之前的黑帘，这些都让工作室看起来更加明亮，门外墙面依然用了之前的木板条，所有家具和大木门都得到保留。新的工作室紧邻苏州河畔，光线非常充沛，我们都很喜欢新的工作环境，欢迎大家来做客！
