Xin Hu Yuting Jin Theater Interior Sunday, 13 August 2023

Renovation of Dongpo

Renovation of Dongpo is an interior design project for a theater in Hangzhou, China. The theater opened in 1992 near West Lake and carried marks from many periods. The renovation works by subtraction, removing unneeded decoration while keeping traces of different times and returning the building to a simpler state. Beams, columns and equipment in the hall are reorganized to appear plain and orderly. Concrete fibreboard walls, black steel and soft lighting recall an ancient cave. The design covers 4150 square meters on three floors.

The Atticum Restaurant Bar Rooftop

Florian Studer Restaurant Bar Rooftop Interior Thursday, 10 August 2023

The Atticum

The charm of a restaurant in an industrial environment should be reflected in the architecture and furnishings. The black and grey lime plaster, which was specially developed for this project, is one of the proofs of this. Its unique, rough structure runs through all the rooms. In the detailed execution, materials such as raw steel were deliberately used, whose welding seams and grinding marks remained visible. This impression is supported by the choice of muntin windows. These cold elements are contrasted by warm oak wood, hand-planed herringbone parquet and a fully planted wall.
