The Design

About Quad Primarna funkcija: Bar

Quad je bar smješten u historijskoj zgradi tradicionalnog dvorišnog tipa u centru Pekinga. Originalna konstrukcija bila je u nesigurnom stanju, što je otežavalo ojačavanje i obnovu. Renoviranje dodaje savremene funkcije uz očuvanje karaktera stare gradske četvrti. Beton je korišten za fasadu, a drvo za unutrašnje uređenje. Dizajn uspostavlja ravnotežu između tri para suprotnosti: novog i starog, suzdržanog i luksuznog, komercijalnog i udobnog. Privatnost je zaštićena tako da se bar tiho uklapa u okolno historijsko susjedstvo.

Now it will be protected and transformed into a speakeasy club.
