- Design Challenge
- New and old, low key and high end, market and comfort, these three pairs of antagonistic words often appear in discussion of design life in old but fast changing Beijing. It is more like an experiment when regarding it as an opportunity to expand the border of the complex culture and design concept. Balance the traditional symbolic image and the modern use function. It will produce the new space, experience, opportunities and imaginations while the project is designed, constructed and used.
- Research
- It is nearly 100 years since the Republic of China this building has been standing in the ancient city area of Qianmen Dazhalan in the center of Beijing. This building has changed from a residential building to a spare parts factory, and then to a Mahjong chess and card room. After several transformations, it has changed several times. Now it will be protected and transformed into a speakeasy club.
- Inspiration
- Architectural space like the words Quad which contain the meaning of centrality and privacy, the modern use function blend in the ancient scene naturally, low key, comfortable and fabulous.
- Project Duration
- The project started in April 2018 in Beijing in China and finished in November 2018.
