Wu

Club for AD ARCHITECTURE (Shenzhen)

Wu club is a Chaoshan cuisine restaurant and club. The project adopts a novel operation concept and provides a unique spatial environment. Polygonal planes, slanting structures and "floating" forms are brought into the space, which challenges established architectural values and releases imagination. As approaching the project, the design team tried to apply Western design order to create and interpret Oriental spatial qualities and philosophy. The space connects a series of activities, and forms an interesting and theatrical scene.

Unique Properties

Polygonal planes, slanting structures and "floating" forms are brought into the space, which challenges established architectural values and releases imagination. Irregular geometric shapes break with the convention, and indicate an attitude of exploring undefined order and an experiment of achieving self-worth. The space is conceived as a broken and void sculpture, which features dramatic expressions and artistic tension.

Production Technology

The design team adopted a creative and experimental approach to express paint, which is given different hues and textures. Besides, the wooden floor and stone materials form a contrast. The solid and the soft, the cool and the warm, collide yet harmonize with each other. Moreover, elements such as humor, mystery and dream are incorporated into the space.

Design Challenge

The project is a multi-functional venue that consists of dining area, bar, cigar room, tea room, etc. Therefore, the challenge lies in how to create a balance design that blends dynamic and silent spaces.

Project Duration

Design Time: January 2020 Completion Time: July 2020 Project Location: Shantou, Guangdong

Operation Flow

The designers accentuated light since it's a visible substance, and intended to convey the spiritual world through the materiality of light. Light produces a mysterious, tranquil ambience whilst evoking emotions and illusionary effects. As approaching the project, the design team tried to apply Western design order to create and interpret Oriental spatial qualities and philosophy.

Research

This space brings people into another world, which is like a virtual world in films. It's surreal, dramatic and abstract, showing a futurist image. In addition, it's storytelling as well. The space connects a series of activities, and forms an interesting and theatrical scene.

Inspiration

It's a new Chaoshan cuisine restaurant & club, which bears the mission of carrying forward Chaoshan cuisine. Composed of private dining rooms, a tea room, a cigar bar, a whisky bar and an audio/video room, it adopts a novel operation concept and provides a unique spatial environment. The designer conceived it as a kind of modern energy and applied an advanced design concept, aiming to create a "tentative" spatial state: the space is endowed with value and defined by what happens in it.
