Taiyuan - Whisky Bar

Located in Taiyuan Xiaodian district, the project consisted of the refurbishment of two floors of a commercial podium, part of a standard real-estate housing complex. The scope of the intervention extended on the area of three existing shops and aimed to unify them into a single Whisky and cocktail bar.

Facing the heterogeneity of the existing situation and surroundings, the work on the façade was essential to allow the new project to exist in the cityscape. We choose to remove all existing façade claddings and to recreate a new façade that would oppose the usual light cladding of commercial façades. We worked on a cast-in-place concrete façade that will assert its presence in the context by its materiality. The concrete as a material allowed us to create a monolithic façade that brings a new texture in the city and also provides a long-lasting cover for the existing building.

威士忌酒吧

该项目位于太原市小店区，是一个标准商住楼裙楼的商铺翻修改造，将原有的三家店面合并改造为太原首家威士忌收藏级酒吧。

商铺的现状及周边环境的无序，使外立面对于让新项目以怎样的形式存在于城市景观之中显得尤为重要。我们选择了拆除所有现有的外墙饰面，重建一个与商业通常使用的轻型装饰面完全不同的外墙形式：设计一个现浇混凝土的外墙。通过混凝土本身浑厚的物质性来体现其在环境中的存在，使我们能够创造一个完全整体的外立面，为城市景观带来新质感的同时，也为现有的建筑提供一个持久的覆层。
