By Situated in Pazhou, Canton (Guangzhou), INSIDE Guangzhou stands as a fusion of a gin bar and coffee shop, offering a cozy retreat for the community. Tasked with revitalizing this compact space on a limited budget, R-BAS embarked on a journey to infuse dynamism into the interior while catering to diverse social interactions.
Embracing Versatility
The design ethos of INSIDE Guangzhou revolves around flexibility and adaptability. A striking feature of the interior is the multifunctional furniture structure that serves as tables, seating, cabinets, flooring, and countertops. This innovative approach not only maximizes space utilization but also encourages a myriad of social behaviors, from casual gatherings to focused work sessions.
Fluid Spatial Dynamics
Connecting the front and back doors, a fluid circulation path guides visitors through an immersive journey. The sculptural wooden blocks, meticulously arranged to create continuous and diverse interfaces, embody the essence of spatial versatility. By reorienting these elements, the space seamlessly transitions from a vibrant gathering spot by night to a tranquil workspace by day.
Unconventional Aesthetics
To evoke a sense of relaxed authenticity, the interior adopts simple and bright-colored materials, with oriented strand boards lending a raw yet inviting aesthetic. The art gallery-inspired ceiling system adds a layer of intrigue, transforming the structural elements into a canvas for unique consumer experiences.
INSIDE Guangzhou Gin Bar & Coffee Shop redefines the concept of hospitality, offering more than just beverages but a dynamic environment where social connections thrive and creativity flourishes.
