Design Details

Unique Properties
OneWood is a multi-functional entertainment space located in Beijing, it is composed of three different spaces located on the first floor, the second floor and the underground space, with a total area of 396 m, The three totally different design style between the floors poses a great challenge to the design team, also the three floors represent the different personalities of the drinkers.
Inspiration
The drinkers have three different statuses: scholar, general, and maniac. The god of wine named Du Kang has been unable to make the ideal wine. when he about to give up, an old man entered Du Kang's dream and told him: If you want to make the perfect wine you must gather three drops of blood from three people in three days and put it into the wine for introduction in the noon of the day. So Du Kang asked three drops of blood from a scholar, general and a maniac to make the great aroma of the wine.
Research
Films, Chinese myth, Music.
Challenge
How to transfer our 3 different concepts and different type of research to the real design outcome.
Realization and Technology
From the concept to the real decoration on the B1 floor, we cooperate with "The Wandering Earth?" film props crew.
Operation and Interaction
From layout to lighting, material to decoration, it is very tough to transfer our concepts to the actual space. Fortunately The Wandering Earth? film prop crew make our concepts come true. Crazy is the tone of our underground space. We want to make the underground floor is the releasing of stress and hormones beyond reality.
Project Duration and Location
The Project started in August 2018 in Beijing and finished in July 2019.
