About Yujintai Club

Yujintai is a private club interior located in Beijing. The project covers 350 square meters and was completed in 2018. The design applies the aesthetics of the Song and Ming periods to a modern space. The floor is made of dark-grained marble with mountain and river patterns. The ceiling uses a dark gray mirror finish that suggests still water and gentle ripples. Hollow-out frames divide the rooms and create a calm rhythm. A landscape planting area answers the lack of greenery in modern buildings and supports a quiet mood.

Production Technology: The ground is made of dark-grained marble with mountains and rivers, and the deep-gray base on the large surface renders the sense of ritual and vigorous momentum. On the top, the ripples are washed up by the static dark gray mirror, and the sparkling waves sublimate a vast and boundless artistic conception.
Design Challenge: In order to solve the problem of scarcity of landscape green plants in modern buildings, the addition of landscape art potted area not only strengthens the spirituality and meditation of space, but also sublimates the poetry and artistic style.
Project Duration: The project started in June 2018 in Beijing and finished in September 2018 in Beijing.
Operation Flow: Entering the porch, the traditional primitive simplicity Ming-style four-door cabinet, water-shaped auspicious mica ornaments, combined with the imitation of Song Huizong's "Ruihe Tu", constitute the elegant and classical space.
Research: Those precipitated thousands of years of cultural context, infiltrating the moment in Beijing. Yujintai Club is located in Beijing East Third Ring North Road, occupying the core area of CBD planning. It is not only in the prosperity of the main city, but also away from the world to maintain quiet and elegant.
Inspiration: Based on the design concept of "reproducing the innovative expression of Song and Ming aesthetics in modern architectural space", the designer absorbs the humanistic flavor of Song and Ming Dynasties and the surrounding natural elements, deduces the essence of Oriental traditional culture in combination with modern design techniques, and draws a picture of "leaving the city without leaving the life".
