Tuo + Urban Wave’s SHIYEFENGWU Store is strategically positioned at the core of the space, offering a focal point at the end of the entrance passage. Essential functions like the map wall, exhibition stand, and shared kitchen are thoughtfully placed within a compact square space, modularized to optimize functionality.
Modular Design Approach
The booth, comprising four modules, adapts to changing exhibition themes, with adjustable table heights tailored to different needs. Transitioning from the booth to the shared kitchen, the gradual increase in table height fosters an inviting ambiance while maintaining visual coherence.
Seamless Integration
Ceiling extension integrates with the kitchen, framing the “fengwu map,” while lower shelves, flooring, and ceilings define the living area, inviting customers to engage in various activities. Continuity between the living area and village direct supply area is achieved through gradually rising shelves, establishing visual connectivity.
Material Selection and Construction
Traditional materials like “red brick” and “wood” infuse the space with warmth and simplicity reminiscent of traditional architecture. Modern construction techniques lend a contemporary touch to these materials, ensuring a harmonious blend of tradition and modernity. Each functional area comprises smaller modular units, connected by hardware for structural integrity.
Adaptive Furniture Modules
The furniture module, resembling architectural units, offers flexibility through adjustable height settings, catering to diverse usage scenarios. Horizontal pores between bricks create adaptable spaces for partitions, imparting a sense of lightness to the otherwise heavy brick elements.
Breathing Partition Elements
Horizontal hollows between bricks introduce a dynamic “breathing sense,” deviating from the dense joints of traditional brick walls. This design choice not only lightens the visual weight of the brick partition but also imbues it with a sense of openness and airiness.
By seamlessly integrating traditional materials with modern design principles, SHIYEFENGWU Store transcends conventional boundaries, offering a spatial experience that resonates with both heritage and contemporary aesthetics.
