Jiang Yue She Spa House

Jiang Yue She

Jiang Yue She is a spa house interior design with an indoor area of 1,500 square meters. The design is located in a busy city district without a natural landscape.

Original columns form crisscrossed arches that guide movement through the space, and cavern-shaped spa suites are arranged along this route. Ponds, trees and waterfalls are placed indoors as landscape elements. Diffuse and ground lighting creates a soft visual experience. An all-air system maintains fresh air, temperature and humidity.

Monya Japanese Restaurant

Monya

Monya is a Japanese restaurant with a floor area of about 230 square meters. The west facing facade is formed by tall glass windows, so a very thin wooden lattice was installed across the whole surface to soften the strong sunlight. The interior includes private rooms, a counter where the chef cooks in front of guests, an open space for parties and a terrace seat beside a private garden. One glass private room can be divided in two by a soundproof sliding shutter. The lattice gives privacy without solid walls and creates calm light and shadow.

Wild Restaurant and Bar

Wild

Wild is a restaurant and bar interior located in Nanjing, China. The original catering space was large and underused, so one area was separated to work as an independent whiskey bar. The restaurant and the bar are divided by a passage, yet remain visible to each other. The restaurant recalls camping in nature, with a large custom canopy made of Oxford cloth, terrazzo flooring and natural rock flakes on the walls. The bar imagines a new home a century from now, with a curved structure of wood and gypsum board around a luminous model of the earth. The total area is 235 square meters.
