Design Details

Unique Properties: This is an exploration of Oriental Aesthetics in the modern context. The design context of the whole project fully interprets the sense of architecture, experience, art and ceremony. The design team respects tradition and uses rational thinking to refine and optimize the design, which fully meets the aesthetic and functional needs of contemporary people.
Inspiration: It stands across the river from the ancient city of Wenzhou, showing a new look of the city to the main urban area. In the role of onlooker, the design slowly tells how a city nourishes the contemporary human life with its context. Also, it creates a feeling visually with long history but still novel by extracting and blending the landscape artistic conception.
Research: From the perspective of designers, architecture is only a hint, a metaphor of the "foreshadowing" and "boundary constraint" conditions of space. Therefore, interior space design should respect the form of architecture, and realize that the design should make people's body, freedom dimension, landscape, natural light and social life more meaningful, while decoration is less important. Therefore, their design starts from the architectural form and structure, so as to "temper" the space narrative.
Challenge: How to make space changes in a slightly mediocre square box is the problem that the design of this case wants to overcome. As a public space, the charm of the design makes people linger and enjoy the time here, which is undoubtedly conducive to the promotion of the space value.
Realization and Technology: As the biggest difficulty of this case, irregular wave shaped ceiling reflects the details beauty of modern style. The laminated white semi matte custom-made aluminum hanging board is like ripples rippling all around. The design adopts the technique of "deconstructing curve art" to arouse modern people's chemical reaction to art, showing the fluidity and inclusiveness of space. It also tries to explore the relationship between more diversified space and human living form.
Operation and Interaction: The bar counter adopts the technique of building interpenetration and embellishes the water texture, to create a delicate and profound beauty for the whole space.
Project Duration and Location: The project started in June 2020 in Wenzhou and finished in July 2020 in Wenzhou.
Specifications: The project covers a total of 1898 square meters.
