Domes Noruz Mykonos

Blazing Night

Taking Apollo and Dionysus as aesthetic symbols, Nietzsche explored the dialectic spirit state: dreaming and intoxicating, illusion and ego. The space's name - Blazing Night, consisting of contrasting imagery. Therefore, we take the dialectic spirits as a spatial metaphor from the perspective of time. Blazing Night is based on a compound model of a cafe by day/a bar by night to illustrate the vision of interacting with the future. Therefore, using time as a design concept, we transform the complex commercial format into an immersive emotional experience.  Caption The light gives us the basic perception of time. Taking the variation of time as a design idea, we deploy visual languages to compose a flowing spatial narrative: as da... Mehr

Shake Shanghai

A well-loved shanghai institution, Shake first appeared on the scene in 2016. This casual and high-energy, live-music bar was ready for a revamp. Key to the project was to retain the soul of the place that was so familiar to its loyal customers. The concept remained true to its roots and continued to develop around the idea of the Supper Club, a space that was inspired by the music itself and paid homage to the vinyl era.  hcreates Hoping to create a venue that could extend its food offering and create a more defined area for the musicians, the layout was optimized to include a bigger kitchen and a raised stage area. As a venue that transitions from dinner to cocktails to dancing, the seating arrangements needed to consider comfo... Mehr

6HEAD, Sydney. Restaurant Design - Australia

The 6 Head story  was chosen as a part of the significant cultural heritage of Australia and meticulously woven into the existing historical fabric of the chosen site at Campbell's stores. Australia is filled with rich anecdotes, some of which are to be celebrated and some not. As a social space in this historical context the visitor is made acutely aware of the backstory (see below) and this translates in a very real bottom line impact as a must see restaurant destination. The crafted logs and timber joinery were from repurposed hand selected rescued timber only. Paul Archer On board the 1st fleet were 1480 souls and 6 Head (hence the name) of cattle (from the Cape of Good Hope). After arriving however, the cattle were unattende... Mehr

jaguar negro

Jaguar Negro is inspired by the History of Mexico in two ways. The first one is intimately linked to the ancestral heritage of the Aztec culture, already distant in time and characterized by legends that have been transferred from generation to generation. And a second counterpart, much closer to our time, based on the Colonial Hacienda and its way of experiencing space, but brought to the present with contemporary touches that have a lot to do with the use of material. The project is, then, the result of an aesthetic and functional binomial, where graphic design and interior design conspire in order to create total coherence in the concept of this magical project located in 7 Bancas Escazú - Costa Rica.
