Design Details

Unique Properties
The project is located in an office building in Shanghai Lujiazui CBD, which is the most advanced economic position in China. It is not a catering place open to the outside world, but a space used for internal reception and dining in urban office in order to reduce travel time and improve work efficiency. The appearance of the abstract forms of mountains and stones, water reflection and fish shadow seems to have some words, but it has a tacit understanding that silence is better than sound.
Inspiration
The word "mountain" and "water" is an inseparable noun. It is often the boundary of a country, a region or even a race and culture. Therefore, the word "landscape" and ancient and modern literati are inextricably linked. For the modern people in the fast-paced life behind, they are also fascinated by the landscape. In social activities, even in the setting of semi working scenes, it is also psychological gratifying to create a little indifferent atmosphere.
Research
Space needs a sense of ritual, but it should also be fun and warm. Deep in my memory, there is always the warm touch of the old Jiangnan courtyard and old wooden house. In such scenes, the dishes always have the smell of fireworks and the fragrance of natural attributes. Chatting between tea and dinner can open your heart, and drinking and drinking is reasonable.
Challenge
In the most modern and prosperous CBD building in Shanghai, this case integrates strong traditional elements, adding a touch of fireworks to the fast-paced working environment of urban elites.
Realization and Technology
The ceiling of the box is covered with wood veneer, which seems to be the wooden floor of the wooden house, the oxidized copper facing on the wall, the mottled texture that can not be copied, and the rattan materials on the chair seem like time telling a story and telling us to face the present calmly.
Operation and Interaction
In the box space, the repetition of vertical lines regularizes the sequence of the space, making people feel as if they are in the bamboo forest and can enjoy drinking by the curved water.
Project Duration and Location
The project started in November 2018 in Shanghai and finished in October 2019 in Shanghai.
Specifications
The project covers a total of 650 square meters.
