About Dragon Child Studio Munus Primarium: Interior Design Loci Operis

Textus Libri: Dragon Child Studio est designatio interior loci operis facta pro societate musica Pekini sita. Spatium ducentorum quinquaginta metrorum quadratorum in area sub ponte olim bistratato umbrata iacet, ita ut frons tractetur velut arca metallica muro caementicio antiquo inserta. Tabulae ex acie chalybis inoxidabilis et tabulae pellucidae solares eundem colorem cinereum sed texturas diversas communicant. Arculae lucis acrylicae volumen metallicum notant et terrasam exteriorem illuminant. Intus, color aurantius calidus cum materiis frigidis contrastat, dum fenestrae amplae a solo ad tectum spatium a via conspicuum reddunt.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: Stainless steel panels and sunshine panels repeatedly appear on the facade and interior, as the main material of the space, setting the futuristic tone. On the basis of the above two cold materials, the interior adds warm orange to form contrast with the cold outside, and enhance the attractiveness of the interior space from the outside.
Dimensions & Packaging: 250sqm
Tags: futuristic, Plug-in
Production Technology: Stainless steel panels,sunshine panels, transparent acrylic panels
Design Challenge: The façade facing the main road retains the original architectural design to the maximum extent, only changing the window frame and local wall surface to dark gray metal material, At the same time, the main facade elements located on the side are extended to the street as an extension of the overall facade design.
Research: The main facade material of the project is brushed stainless steel plate and translucent sunlight plate. The two collage materials are the same gray color tone yet have different textures, the cold stainless steel VS the ambiguous sunlight plate, creating harmonious and rich texture. Acrylic light boxes with different proportions adorn the metal massing everywhere, play as an different element other than the stainless steel and acrylic active highlights. And at the same time, provides lighting for the outdoor terrace activities area.
Inspiration: The client is a music company dedicated to the promotion and production of avant-garde music, and its business is mainly for young people. The client 's demand is to inject a vibrant entrepreneurial spirit (independent, avant-garde, and active) into the space while meeting basic office needs. Therefore, we position the project style as active and technological.
Project Duration: The site is located in Xidian Memory Innovation Park，Beijing. The main entrance and facade are not facing the main road, and are shrouded in the shadow of the former two-story bridge. Yet according to relevant regulations of the innovation park, the façade facing the main road cannot be changed. As a result of which, how to maximize the exhibitionability and iconicity of the space becomes a challenge for this project.
Operation Flow: The designer imagined the facade of the project as an “outsider” who did not belong here, and intervened in the form of “plug-in”: inserting a metal box with a strong contrast with the original masonry wall in the original site, and inhabiting under the outdoor bridge in the attitude of an outsider.. Its recognizable shape and wide and transparent floor to ceiling windows increase the exhibitionability and iconicity of the space.
