Overview

Tucked away in the historic Shangfang Garden neighborhood of Old Xuhui (FFC), this charming garden studio offers a rare combination of interior workspace and private outdoor tranquility. The property features approximately 60 square meters of flexible interior space, complemented by a dedicated 20 square meter private garden.

Shangfang Garden is a beloved lane house community known for its quiet atmosphere, mature trees, and proximity to the vibrant heart of the Former French Concession. This studio is ideal for creative professionals seeking an inspiring workspace away from the noise of a traditional office.

The Private Garden – A Rare Gem

At 20 square meters, the private garden is a significant feature – especially at this price point. In the dense urban fabric of Old Xuhui, private outdoor space is highly sought after. This garden offers:

A peaceful retreat for breaks or outdoor work
Natural light and fresh air
Potential for potted plants, small seating, or creative installations
A quiet escape from the city without leaving your workspace

Interior Space – Flexible & Functional

The 60 square meter interior provides a blank canvas for a variety of uses:

Use Case	Why It Works
Artist studio	Natural light, quiet garden for inspiration
Photography studio	Private garden for outdoor shoots, controlled environment
Writer’s retreat	Peaceful neighborhood, garden views
Design office	Flexible open space for small creative team
Consulting practice	Professional yet intimate setting for client meetings
Yoga or wellness studio	Garden for outdoor sessions, tranquil atmosphere

The Shangfang Garden Neighborhood

Shangfang Garden is located in a prime pocket of Old Xuhui, offering:

Tree-lined streets with historic lane house architecture
Walking distance to Changshu Road and Huaihai Middle Road
Abundant cafés, boutiques, and restaurants nearby
Excellent metro access (Lines 1, 7, and 10 within reasonable distance)
Quiet, residential feel while remaining connected

Why This Studio Stands Out

Feature	Benefit
Private garden	Rare outdoor space at an accessible price
60 sqm interior	Flexible for various creative or professional uses
Shangfang Garden location	Prestige address in historic Old Xuhui
11,000 RMB/month	Excellent value for a garden studio in FFC
Lane house character	Inspiring, non-corporate environment
