Design Details

Unique Properties
The program uses geometric block interspersing, array and other construction techniques, also architectural language to create an artistic atmosphere for commercial space. Creating a high space In the core of the whole space, using the vertical structure to balance the spatial rhythm and increase the interest. The overall volume of the bar space is specially increased, the exquisite metal material comes from conflicts and contrasts with the coarse cement texure, creating a dramatic sense.
Inspiration
The name of the client in this case is Mei, which reminds me of mature bayberry. The color of mature bayberry is very good-looking and it is a kind of classic red. I take this as inspiration to establish the design keynote, hoping to create a commercial space as vivid, sexy and artistic as bayberry.
Research
