壹合 Project House @1QRW

上環皇后大道西壹號

1 Queen’s Road West
Sheung Wan

經歷了三年的疫情，壹屋計劃終於番黎喇！2023年夏天我們將搬到熟悉的上環社區-
「壹合」將於7月底進駐皇后大道西壹號六個星期，與超過30個社區拍檔合作打造全新的社區空間。

After three years of pandemic, this summer, onebite’s placemaking experiment Project House is making a comeback! We will be moving into the familiar Sheung Wan neighbourhood at 1 Queen’s Road West for six weeks, creating a brand new community space with over 30 community partners.

壹＋壹＝？

「壹」屋計劃遇上上環皇后大道西「壹」號，到底會擦出多少社區生活新想像？

With Project House @1QRW, how can we spark new imaginations of communtiy life?

以歷史建築為蹲點 Historical Building as a Launchpad

一如以往，「壹屋計劃」由有心業主短期借出地舖。化身「壹合」，這次基地為活在山下基金借出皇后大道西壹號這幢三級歷史建築的地舖，前身是「有記合臘味家」。建於1920年代的戰前唐樓歷經上環變遷，不單是僅存的社區歷史的見證，更有機會連繫社區內深厚的歷史底蘊。

As usual, Project House makes use of temporarily vacant retail space provided by thoughtful property owners. We are fortunate to have Lion Rock Heritage Foundation the landlord lending the gorgeous Grade 3 historic building @1 Queen’s Road West. Formerly known as “Yau Kee Hop" (a roast meat business) and built before the 1920s, this pre-war tonglau serves as a rare witness to the history of this community, but also grants us an opportunity to connect the profound historical background laid within the community

碰撞社區服務的新想像 Reimganing Social Services

今次壹合重點夥拍明愛堅道社區中心及其他服務單位，冀碰撞社區服務的新想像。若然將傳統服務的模式和地點一改，不知道會否接觸到新的街坊，連繫新的合作夥伴，以及擦出新的服務點子？例如：壹家壹餸，壹齊鬆一鬆，壹齊傾偈，壹齊飲水。

Project House @1QW partners intensively with Caritas Community Centre - Caine Road and other service units, with the hope to spark imaginations of community services. If we change the patterns and locations of traditional services, perhaps we can reach out to new kaifongs, partners, and brainstorm new service ideas?

探索疫後社區空間的可能性 Possibilities of Post-Pandemic Community Spaces

壹合期望將空間改造成大家可以安心歇一歇的社區客廳，讓無論上班族、老友記、學生、家庭等街坊，都能夠在午飯時間好好吃一頓飯，炎夏時享用一個有冷氣的喘息空間。我們亦會串連上環社區各路人馬，舉辦一系列的活動和服務，相信能夠迎合不同街坊的需要和興趣，探索地舖作為新型社區空間(「第三空間」）的可能性。例如：壹齊食飯、社區咖啡廳、音樂會、社區放映。

Project House @1QRW envisions a community living room where everyone can rest safely, comfortably take a lunch break, and enjoy a cool breathing space during the summer. We will also run a series of events and services with our collaborators to meet the needs and interests of different kafongs, and explore the possibility of street-level retail space as a new type of community space ("third place").

社區的望聞問切 Taking the Pulse of the Community

這幾年來大家經歷了無數突如其來的外在變化，艱難地走過這些以後，我們都變得不一樣，社區的需求亦如是。一個日常生活場除了以上提及想像，所能夠做到的，更是社區的望聞問切，讓熱衷社區工作的單位能夠重新為社區把脈，了解疫後的社區真正需要的，往後才能對症下藥。「以話會友」活動把散落的個體連繫起來，讓我們靜下來，展開一場真誠的對話。

Over the past few years, we have experienced countless unexpected changes, and have all come out different walking through these struggles, so have the needs of the community. In addition to the possibilities and imaginations, a daily space on the street-level is best suited to understand the real needs of the community, allowing organisations passionate about community work to re-examine the community and understand what our kaifongs truly need after the pandemic to provide better solutions.

搬屋點少得你?

要打造大家都舒服的社區客廳，壹合「出雞」，希望大家一齊「出豉油」！為了方邊大家，我們已經準備好送禮清單，歡迎認領！

A move-in will never be possible without a housewarming party! Likewise, Project House has a wish list for our new move.

義工招募：壹合這個社區客廳由7月29日起，逢星期一至六上午10時至晚上9時開放，每日都需要義工「廳長」駐場！按此立即申請！
Volunteers recruitment: Starting from July 29th, our community living room will be open from 10 am to 9 pm every Monday to Saturday, and we need volunteers to be on duty as "living room manager"! Click here to apply!
捐款：壹合有幸得到業主免費借出場地，亦有區內小店借出設備，但仍然有賴大家支持才能將空間極速變成舒適的社區客廳。當中有數個社區項目的新嘗試特別需要集眾人之力籌集項目成本－
- 繪本工作坊：貓珊Connie準備了以繪本作為媒介的工作坊，亦意在讓照顧者有短暫休息的空間和時間
- 社區身心靈：導師Maggie Lin 連續五個星期以不同主題帶領街坊進行靜觀練習
Donations: We are fortunate to have the property owner lend us the space for free, and local shops lend us equipment. However, we still rely on everyone's support to turn the space into a comfortable community living room as quickly as possible. There are several new community projects that require the collective effort of everyone to raise project costs -
- Picture Book Workshop: Artist Maoshan Connie has prepared a series workshop that uses picture books as a medium, and also aims to provide caregivers with a short break in both space and time.
- Community breathing space: Over five consecutive weeks, instructor Maggie Lin will lead kaifongs in mindfulness exercises on different themes.
