A reporter asked to photograph Juan’s apartment for an article she’s writing on his building. Here are some photos from the shoot. Nice, right?

The building is something of a Shanghai landmark. It’s right on Suzhou Creek and was constructed for British diplomats during the Concession era. There are high ceilings, balconies and near perfect views of the space-age Pudong skyline.

The building’s residents are a mix of local Chinese living in ramshackle sub-divided units and yuppie (mainly expat) hipsters who are buying places and renovating. Gentrification continues its inexorable march – even here.
