The Bar &Restaurant "Above" is located in the Yubei district of Chongqing, a bustling metropolis in southwestern China. Nestled atop a three-story shopping mall, the venue offers a retreat from the urban buzz with stunning views over the city and the surrounding mountains.
The design sought to create a space that was both modern and welcoming while also highlighting the beauty of nature. To achieve this, the project required removing and integrating old structures, including a 2.5m high wall surrounding most of the rooftop, which could not be altered. Leveraging those challenges as opportunities, the venue expands vertically on the first floor, embracing the open sky through a glass roof that allows natural light to flood the space.Accompanied by rich green plants, beige finishes and terrazzo flooring providing a sense of grounding, and dark natural stone to contrast with, the design creates a cohesive and harmonious atmosphere.
The entrance to the apartment is separated with a décor wall, creating a sense of privacy and limit the exposure for visitors. The open-plan living space combines a Chinese kitchen, a western cooking island, a dining area, a living room, and a semi-open tea room, removing barriers and focusing on the necessary elements. This concept allows for a visual connection throughout the day, promoting a sense of connectedness and community.
The corridor connecting the master bedroom, guest room, and office is modern and minimalistic, with a language design that complements the overall aesthetic. The use of wood adds warmth to the design, creating a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. The furniture is chosen to harmonize with the design approach, making this interior design a cohesive and beautiful living space.
