The Design

About Quad Primary Function: Bar

Quad iku bar sing manggon ing gedhong quadrangle bersejarah ing tengah kutha Beijing. Struktur asliné ana ing kahanan sing ora aman, sing marakaké panguwatan lan pambangunan maneh dadi angel. Renovasi iki nambahaké fungsi modern nanging tetep njaga watak wewatakané tlatah kutha lawas. Beton digunakaké kanggo fasad lan kayu kanggo dekorasi jero. Desain iki nyeimbangaké telung pasang bab sing lawan-lawanan: anyar lan lawas, prasaja lan mewah, dagang lan kepenak. Privasi dijaga supaya bar kasebut nyawiji kanthi tentrem karo tetanggan bersejarah ing sakiwa-tengené.
