空间因你而在

NO WHERE OR NOW HERE? The name of our studio was the beginning of an interesting discussion and association”.

“From London to Shanghai, we incorporate the power of technology based on artistic inspiration and creativity into new works presented to the public in an open and interactive state, in direct dialogue with the public through the practice of the product. NOWHERE is a creative and design studio engaged in the artistic exploration of new media and digital interaction. Through innovative artwork, we bring new cultural relevance to brands and new business value to our clients. We have cooperated with clients such as Nike and Cartier.

NOWHERE’s first art product-CUBE, was a sound installation, a handmade, white, raw cement cube that evokes sounds of a primitive forest. We took a raw material and injected technology into the art to present it to the public, creating an association of unfinished business.

In choosing our office space, we were looking to continue our style: open space, high quality layout, neutral colours. These seem to be simple but actually need to be well thought-out.

Since we moved in in 2020 we have met like-minded people in this big community and we have gained a pleasant and relaxing office atmosphere. The various activities organized by ANKEN on a regular basis, such as rooftop padel and the warm and caring property management make us feel that ANKEN is a big family and that we are all tightly knitted together.

“NO WHERE OR NOW HERE”我们工作室的名字是引发有趣讨论和联想的开端”

“从伦敦到上海，我们将科技的力量基于艺术的灵感和创意，融入到新的作品中以一个开放互动的状态呈现给公众，通过产品的实践与公众直接对话。NOWHERE是一家艺术设计工作室，从事在新媒体，数字互动领域的艺术探索。通过创新的艺术作品，为品牌带来新的文化关联，为客户带来新的商业价值。我们曾与耐克，卡地亚等客户合作。

NOWHERE的第一个艺术作品-CUBE是一款声音装置，一个纯手工制作的、白色的、未加工的水泥立方体，让人联想到原始森林的声音。我们采用原材料，将科技的力量注入艺术，将其呈现给公众，创造出一种未完成事情的联想…

所以，在选择办公场所的空间时，我们希望延续我们的风格，开放式的空间，高品质的布局，自然的色彩等，这些看似简单，实则是需要深思熟虑过的。

自2020年真正入驻以后，我们在这个大社区里结识志同道合的伙伴，也收获了轻松愉快的办公氛围。园区定期组织各式各样的活动，如屋顶的板式网球场以及热情周到的物业管理,更让我们感觉安垦就是一个大家庭，大家紧密地联系在一起。

“I just wanted to get my hands in the soil and get involved with nature!”

Eight years ago, I connected with SkyFarm when searching for a gardening community. They had a project at the top of ANKEN Green that had gone wild, and they asked if I wanted to bring it back to life!

When I arrived at ANKEN Green, I was in for a shock. ANKEN already farmed half, and it was beautiful, but SkyFarm’s half was out of control. It had to be completely re-done. I didn’t know where to start, but ANKEN were a pillar of support. Thanks to them, I learned how to run an urban garden.

For eight years, SkyFarm has been my passion project. We’re at ANKEN Air now, and there are nine of us volunteering. We’ve evolved together. We’re much more efficient, and we work smart. It’s so fulfilling to garden with a community of like-minded people. I’ll always be grateful to ANKEN for helping us do what we do.

“我只是想把手伸进泥土里，融入大自然!”

八年前，我在寻找园艺社区时联系上了SkyFarm。他们在安垦绿色办公楼的顶部有一个疯狂的项目，他们问我是否有兴趣想让它焕发生机!

当我到达安垦绿色办公楼时，我非常惊讶。安垦已经把这个城市农场种植了一半，这里非常漂亮。但由于天空农场的有一半种植需要修复，它必须重新安排培植。我一开始感觉困惑，但是安垦给予我充分的信任和支持。在他们的帮助下，我学会了如何经营城市花园。

八年来，SkyFarm一直是我非常热爱的项目。我们现在在安垦嘉立的天空农场一直延续这个项目。团队中有九个人都是志愿者。我们互相合作，使得工作效率更高更灵活。和志同道合的人一起种栽培种植是一件很有成就感的事。我将永远感激安垦帮助我们做力所能及之事，让美好的事情焕发新生!

“We feel free here.”

“YongPu was born in 2014, with the hope of making it easy for everyone who loves life to have a good cup of coffee. We launched a new concept and mascot in 2019, Shi Duanzheng, our guardian stone lion. It may sound childish, but everyone still has a little bit of fear in life and is in need of a corner to be protected and listened to.

As a start-up company, we are relatively young and full of energy. We needed a space for our team that gave us room to grow, physically and creatively.

YongPu was previously located in the nearby historic YuYuan Road. A friend recommended ANKEN and after we saw the environment for ourselves, we were determined to choose ANKEN. 

When we moved to the ANKEN Air family in 2020, we realized this would be a great place for like-minded people. It is welcoming towards pets and has a lot of open public spaces where we love skateboarding at lunchtimes; we feel free here.

ANKEN as a community has created a utopian atmosphere for us, both property and neighbours are very respectful of each other, and the experience is great… We’re connected like family.

We need to partner with like-minded companies that share our values, whether in brand co-branding or choosing office locations for our employees. The humanistic care of ANKEN, the brand concept, and the open and free community environment of ANKEN buildings are very compatible with our concept, progress together, build together, grow together!

“我们在这里感到很自由”

“永璞成立于2014年，我们希望让每个热爱生活的人都能轻松喝到一杯好咖啡。永璞在2019年推出了一个新的概念和品牌IP-石端正，我们的守护者。这听上去似乎很幼稚，但每个人在生活中还是有一点点恐惧的，是需要一个角落去被保护和被倾听的。

作为一家创业型公司，我们相对年轻也充满着活力，我们想为我们的团队提供一个更加开放，拥有更多自由空间的办公场所，让他们身心都可以得到成长和滋养。

我们之前的办公地点也是在愚园路，一直很喜欢愚园路，于是便自己在网上做了调研，同时也有朋友推荐安垦，我们通过实地考察更加坚定选择安垦！

2020年，当我们搬到安垦嘉立这个大家庭的时候，我们就意识到这将是一个志同道合的好地方。这里拥有很多开放的公共空间，对宠物也非常友好，我们也喜欢在也会时常在午间的时候滑板，我们在这里感到很自由。

安垦这个社区大家庭为我们营造了一种乌托邦的氛围，不管物业还是邻居，都非常尊重彼此，体验感很棒！我们像家人一样连接在一起，有了更多的互动！

我们无论在品牌联名，或选择员工办公地点上，我们都需要志同道合的，和我们拥有共同价值观的企业，共同进步，共同构建，共同成长！

“Do it with a punch and go for the impossible challenges.” 

MA: We opened Aboro Boxing Gym in Shanghai in the early 2000s when there was no investment in sports. Our vision was to create a community around boxing. Boxing is so ‘one’, so holistic. We wanted to offer people the kind of holistic training that could change their lives.

MY: ANKEN’s co-founders, Alex and David, were crazy enough to go with our concept! We didn’t know anything about running a fitness business, and Michele was in recovery from stage 3 cancer. So, there were a few challenges!

MA: ANKEN were the matchmakers – they created a space by putting the right people together. They didn’t just give us a space; they cared about us. Ten years on, we’re still disrupting the fitness industry and changing people’s lives.

MY: Shanghai’s fitness industry is going through a period of evolution. Now, people are becoming more aware of this holistic approach to health and fitness.

“全力以赴，迎接不可能的挑战。” 

21世纪初，我们在上海开设了Aboro拳击馆，当时体育运动企业还没有获得任何投资。我们的愿景是创建一个围绕拳击的社区。拳击是如此的“独一无二”，如此的全面。我们想为人们提供一种可以改变他们生活的全面培训。

安垦的联合创始人Alex和David接受了我们非常疯狂的理念！我们对经营健身事业一无所知，而Michele正处于癌症第三期的恢复期。所以，这对我们来说无疑存在挑战!

安垦就像一个媒人——他们把合适的人聚集在一起，创造了一个独特的空间。安垦不仅给我们提供了一个空间，而且非常关心我们的社区运营。十年过去了，我们仍然在健身行业“捣腾”，改变着人们的生活方式。

上海的健身行业正在经历一段高速发展的演变。现在，人们越来越意识到这种健康和健身相结合的生活方式。

“Stories happen here and are recorded by us.”

From a single store in 2011 to having a presence in over 15 cities, BEIYU has served hundreds of thousands of couples, using photography to reflect the diverse range of emotions and perspectives that life encompasses. BEIYU specialises in capturing precious moments within a limited shooting period to authentically portray the journey of love through the art of the lens.

As an entrepreneurial company, BEIYU never stops at just a single wedding photo shoot. We insist on in-depth research and development in the field of original photographic art. Our collaborations extend to shooting celebrity covers for renowned magazines such as YOKA.com and ELLE, cross-border partnerships with brands such as Tadao Ando’s Beijing Youth Exhibition, VERA WANG HAUTE and ziroom.com, and photographic printing services for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics and Paralympics.

When selecting a studio space, we have also remained true to our brand ethos of “simplicity and elegance”. After extensive research and site visits, we ultimately chose ANKEN Avenue as our location in Shanghai. The distinctive red building, which exudes a sense of timelessness, pays meticulous attention to every detail, embodying the magical essence of Shanghai in its space.

We have met partners in this big community, gained a warm and welcoming office atmosphere, and the numerous customers who have come to shoot their stories here have expressed their love for the environment of the environment.

Like ANKEN, BEIYU possesses its own unique philosophy and sentiment. Through the lens, we capture natural beauty, creating a timeless “new” romance that will endure for years to come.

“We started a movement.‘’

“Factory 5 was born in 2010 because we needed a hub for organized bike riding activities. It started with a few friends meeting in cafes and riding fixies.

Later, we found our own space, and things launched from there. Our first location was a club house. You could attend community events and buy stuff for bikes. Community was always important to us. Back then, we were the only group of people riding fixies, so we stuck together.

When we moved to ANKEN Life in 2013, we knew it would be a great place to bring in like-minded individuals. It was a good customer base and all-around great location to grow our community.

As a retailer, we had to decide between having a storefront vs. having a community. Joining ANKEN Life made sense for us. They had event attracting huge crowds at least once a month. People who weren’t initially interested in bikes would wander in and end up riding a bike home.

We stayed in ANKEN Life until a competitor bought us out in 2017.

Factory 5 was a fantastic grassroots standalone, but Shanghai doesn’t need Factory 5 anymore! The fixie scene has matured, and plenty of bike shops are around. In the end, we started a movement – that means something.

“我们开始了一场运动”

Factory 5 诞生于2010年。当时，我们几个朋友骑着fixies在咖啡馆见面，我们意识到，我们需要一个地方成为自行车骑行活动中心。

后来，我们终于找到了属于自己的空间，Factory 5由此诞生。我们的第一个空间就像一个会所，你可以在那里参观圈内活动并购买自行车用品。社区概念对我们来说一直很重要。那时，我们是唯一 一群玩“死飞”的人，所以我们非常团结。

2013年，当我们搬到安垦活力的时候，我们就知道，这将是一个志同道合的好地方。这里拥有很棒的客户群，全方位的设施服务；在这里可以更好地发展自己的圈子。

作为零售商，我们必须在临街店面和社区之间做出选择。加入安垦活力后，他们每月至少举办一次吸引人潮的活动，这将对我们来说很有帮助。他给我们带来新的客户。那些本来对自行车不感兴趣的人，会在一番思索后把自行车骑回家。

我们一直在安垦活力“安身”，直到2017年我们被竞争对手收购。

Factory 5 是一个很棒的草根独立品牌，但上海已经不再需要！市场环境已经成熟，这里也陆续有了很多自行车品牌。在这一场自行车风潮中，Factory 5 在初期留下了难以磨灭的形象–这对我们来说意义非凡！
