About Morph Bar, spazio per eventi
Morph è un bar e spazio per eventi a Shenzhen, in Cina, con una superficie costruita totale di 1.000 metri quadrati. Gli interni uniscono materiali tradizionali cinesi a forme strutturali contemporanee. La palette cromatica di rosso, blu, nero, giallo e oro trae ispirazione dalla Città Proibita e dai Cinque Elementi. Le aree funzionali sono disposte attorno a uno spazio centrale per le attività di 7 metri di altezza, con una capienza di 100 persone e un'acustica da teatro. Un soppalco e una struttura curva a doppia altezza suddividono e definiscono lo spazio. Le installazioni spaziali possono essere modificate per adattarsi ai diversi eventi.

Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- According to the project designers' understanding, evolution indicates progress and variation. Taking account into the context of Shenzhen - a new city, they wanted to utilize some traditional and local materials to collide with the modern interior structural forms, thereby presenting the"evolution" of design. The designers' idea is to realize collisions within the space through a diversified material palette, contrasting interior scenes as well as division of multiple functional areas.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- MORPH is a mixed-use space with a total construction area of 1,000 sqm.
The key design intervention of the project is the creation of a mezzanine. Another bold intervention is to insert a slightly oblique and curved double-height structure into the geometric space, which can link, partition and define the space, and highlight spatial identity and increase brightness. - Tags
