About WAT Green Urban Jungle Interni retail, cocktail bar
WAT Green Urban Jungle è uno spazio retail sociale e cocktail bar a Shanghai, in Cina. La sala rettangolare misura 8 metri di lunghezza, 5 metri di larghezza e 4 metri di altezza. Pareti e soffitto sono rivestiti in terrazzo verde, tagliato in lastre sottili e fissato a pannelli in alveolare di alluminio, così da poter impiegare questo materiale pesante anche in copertura. Al centro si trova un bancone allungato con un nastro rotante che trasporta i cocktail, sotto un tabellone elettronico sospeso che ne segue la sagoma. Le ampie vetrate affacciate sulla strada portano luce naturale all'interno e incorniciano un'area seduta con un bancone e sette sgabelli senza schienale.

Through the narrative reconstruction of old buildings and new Spaces, the designer hope to elegantly intervene in the space-time fabric of the city with the design which is full of the spirit of the Times. Therefore,the designer used a minimalist spatial narrative to inject great vitality into the tiny volume.
- Inspiration
- Mr Tschumi says, Architecture is not simply about space and form, but also about event, action and what happens in space. Form follows fiction. The design team plan to use a minimalist spatial narrative to inject great vitality into the tiny volume. In this small square box, we redefined boundaries, scale and function, and created a green jungle which was full of the spirit of urbanism with restrained but balanced design.
- Project Duration
- The project is located at 758 Julu Road, Jing 'an District, Shanghai, China. And the project started in January 2021 and finished in July 2021.
- Operation Flow
- The style of day and night is different. The style of the day need to maintain retail like WAT products and peripherals to reduce the pressure of the rent and make people feel relaxed and pleasant. However, the bar style need to transform the atmosphere which get customers excited. So the material, color, and style of the soft outfit on the vision were chosen celadon terrazzo and snowflake metal plate. And lighting, music and wine decoration are used to distinguish different business hours.
