About Hefei Since 1872 Innanhússhönnun klúbbhúss

Hefei Since 1872 er innanhússhönnun klúbbhúss sem nær yfir 1000 fermetra í Anhui í Kína. Hönnunin sækir innblástur í staðbundna menningararfleifð og notar krónublaðamynstur sem sameiginlegt þema um allt rýmið. Gólfin eru lögð steinmósaík í formi krónublaða og fletir eru klæddir travertínsteini með bylgjuáferð. Parametrísk hvolfþök eru steypt úr glertrefjastyrktu gifsi og málmsmáatriði eru handhömruð. Vottað timbur, travertín og brons voru valin vegna endingar og áferðar. Móttaka, setustofa og róleg lestrarsvæði leiða gesti í gegnum kyrrlátt og samtengt andrúmsloft.

Production Technology
Advanced digital fabrication methods like CNC templating and laser-calibrated installation were combined with artisanal techniques such as hand-hammered metalwork, seamless GFRG dome casting, and mosaic stone patterning. FSC certified timber, travertine, bronze, and polymer materials were selected for their sustainability, texture, and structural integrity.
Design Challenge
A major challenge was achieving harmony between traditional symbols and modern form without becoming decorative or abstract. Balancing handcrafted elements with digital production, navigating material logistics, and complying with safety and sustainability standards all required rigorous design iteration and cross-disciplinary collaboration.
Research
This was a cultural and spatial research project exploring the integration of urban heritage into residential and public design. Objectives included enhancing emotional identity and spatial usability. Methods involved site analysis, user feedback, and parametric modeling. Insights showed that symbolic continuity across details increased user satisfaction and cultural engagement.
Inspiration
Inspired by the cultural richness of Hefei and the legacy of the Huai Army, this project seeks to translate local heritage into contemporary design. The petal motif, rooted in the Seal Series branding, serves as a narrative thread across spatial elements. Emotional resonance, heritage symbolism, and refined modern lifestyles guided the entire design evolution.
Project Duration
The project started in May 2024 in Anhui, China and finished in July 2024.
Operation Flow
The spatial flow guides users through curated atmospheres, from elegant reception to quiet reading zones. Petal-patterned floors and reflective surfaces orient movement while interactive lighting and material textures encourage tactile and visual engagement. Users naturally navigate and dwell in areas based on mood, light, and layout.
