The Design

About Quad Бар

Quad е бар сместен во историска зграда со внатрешен двор во центарот на Пекинг. Оригиналната структура беше во небезбедна состојба, што ги отежни зајакнувањето и повторната изградба. Реновирањето додава современи функции истовремено задржувајќи го карактерот на стариот дел од градот. Бетонот е употребен за фасадата, а дрвото за внатрешната декорација. Дизајнот балансира три пара спротивности: ново и старо, дискретно и висококласно, комерцијално и удобно. Приватноста е заштитена така што барот тивко се стопува во околното историско соседство.
