About Quad Bar

Quad – Pekiniň merkezindäki taryhy howluly binada ýerleşen bar. Asyl gurluş howpsuz däl ýagdaýdady, bu bolsa berkitmegi we täzeden gurmagy kynlaşdyrdy. Rekonstruksiýa köne şäher böleginiň häsiýetini saklamak bilen bir hatarda döwrebap funksiýalary goşýar. Fasad üçin beton, içki bezeg üçin bolsa agaç ulanylýar. Dizaýn üç jübüt garşylygy deňagramlylaşdyrýar: täze we köne, sada we ýokary derejeli, söwda we amatlylyk. Şahsy giňişlik goralýar, şeýlelik bilen bar töweregindäki taryhy mähellä asuda utgaşýar.
