| DESIGN NAME: Blue Note Beijing PRIMARY FUNCTION: Erforming Arts Theater INSPIRATION: The project is the first China branch of the age-old Jazz brand from New York City, the Blue Note Jazz Club. The site is the former American consulate to the Qing Dynasty, a landmark project in itself and just minutes of walk from the forbidden palace in Beijing. One is faced with the challenge of landing the face of New York cool jazz, in the capital of China, a city so full of Chinese history. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The project located in the courtyard of this landmark complex. The procession of the space has a rhythm that was inspired as much by music as the hu-tong complex in the old city of Beijing. The material palette of the interior is quite simple: Black Metal, Pressed-Concrete board and perforated metal panel with acoustic treatment as wall surfaces. Lighting is mostly dimmed to accentuate the stage and performers, with accents of blue as part of the brand. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Spatially this is the most generous Blue Note club in the world. From the grand lobby one descends a mysterious blue stair case with a curved ceiling, to the main performance space, an impressive volume that suddenly opens one's underground experience. The stage set-up is larger in width than depth, eschewing the traditional shoe-box layout. This promotes an atmosphere of surrounding space and also minimizes the distance between the further states seat from the stage. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project is finished in 2016 in Beijing FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Interior Space and Exhibition Design |
