Gin is a bar interior of 200 square meters located in Xi'an, China. The design is inspired by the masonry, ceramic components and arch structures of Etruscan architecture. Handmade coarse ceramic brick walls are combined with textured stucco coating and granite surfaces. Stone columns are joined to the streamlined central bar counter, which supports the structure and fills the open space. Candles and ceiling spotlights provide soft lighting.

We believe that spatial art is not only a direct expression of beauty, but also a record of the designer's external output and internal self.

Design Details

Unique Properties: Since the beginning of the 19th century, the evolution of bars has a long and tortuous history. All kinds of designs are different, but if you want to create a bar culture that deeply touches people's hearts and satisfies consumers' demands, you must inject soul into the space in combination with consumers' potential spiritual needs. At GIN, you can feel the rebirth in the twilight of the dawn, and also taste the depth of history, entering a journey of immersion that seems like an eternity.
Inspiration: The main building structure of GIN Bar is full of simple texture, which is inspired by the rich masonry, ceramic components and arch structures in Etruscan architecture. The Etruscans in ancient Rome can be called the heyday. Although the Etruscans civilization has gone, the amazing glimpse presented in the GIN bar is enough to let us glimpse the warm and prosperous era, and feel the vitality and bright sunshine of ancient Roman civilization in the early morning.
Research: Candlelight and top spotlights, as atmosphere lighting, add more mystery and melancholy to the night. The arc top shape and stone columns polish the details to the extreme. The surface touch of granite and the symmetrical texture effect bring an irreplaceable sense of simplicity and beauty. The handmade coarse ceramic brick wall is matched with the stucco coating with texture. The sense of space impact that is solemn and does not lose its emotional appeal is spreading.
Challenge: When the traces of time turn into new life, GIN Bar wakes up every inch of space with simple and natural power. The ancient heritage and new culture coexist, creating a space of restraint but full of exploration spirit. Across time and space, linking the ancient and modern, and honoring the ancient culture has always been the constant theme of GIN. Taste delicious wine and food in the time, and start a classic tour with a cocktail.
Realization and Technology: The atmosphere of civilization origin hovers on the inner wall and top of the bar, and the silent environment and solemn stone statues write a few words for us in the vast history. Art Deco's unique beauty of lines, symmetrical and simple geometric composition and mottled stone walls have brought us back to that ancient era, adding more charm when we think about it.
Operation and Interaction: The bar counter in the center is simple and elegant with streamline shape, and the scattered candles create an atmosphere of leisure and elegance. The bar counter is closely connected with the stone column in design, which not only shows the visual beauty, but also reflects the structural tightness, making up for the sense of emptiness in the space.
Project Duration and Location: The project starts in June 2022 in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province and is completed in September 2022 in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province.
Specifications: Project Area: 200 Square Meters
Keywords: Simple, Natural, Ancient Heritage, New Culture Coexist, Elegant
