Morph

Bar for Various Associates

Morph is a mixed-use space with a total construction area of 1,000 sqm. According to the project designers' understanding, evolution indicates progress and variation. Taking account into the context of Shenzhen, a new city, they wanted to utilize some traditional and local materials to collide with the modern interior structural forms. The designers' idea is to realize collisions within the space through a diversified material palette, contrasting interior scenes as well as division of multiple functional areas.

Unique Properties

According to the project designers' understanding, evolution indicates progress and variation. Taking account into the context of Shenzhen - a new city, they wanted to utilize some traditional and local materials to collide with the modern interior structural forms, thereby presenting the"evolution" of design. The designers' idea is to realize collisions within the space through a diversified material palette, contrasting interior scenes as well as division of multiple functional areas.

Project Duration

Started from: August, 2018 Completed in:July, 2019 Location: Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, China

Operation Flow

MORPH is a bar, an event venue and a transformable space, available for facilitating "interaction between human and city" in cultural context. Functional areas are set around a 7-meter-high activity space at the center. With capacity for 100 people, theatre acoustics, and spatial installations which can be replaced irregularly, it's adaptive to various types of activities and provides local people with a fantastic place to socialize.

Research

Through this project, the designers explored and worked out a solution to tackle with the oblivion and disappearing of traditional Chinese materials:not only, adopting unique design approaches to innovate the way of using traditional materials and redefine them in modern designs; but also, integrating China-specific materials with modern technologies, materials and designs, so as to break through the limits of traditional materials utilization and realize "re-design with old material".

Inspiration

Located in Nanshan District, Shenzhen, China MORPH is a mixed-use space with a total construction area of 1,000 sqm. With an urban park and Houhai business circle nearby, it's a rare tranquil place amidst the hustle and bustle of the downtown area. "MORPH" means transformation and evolution in Chinese. The client hopes to build a vigorous and brand new social space, to introduce and hold various cultural, artistic and musical events, with a view to bringing new vitality to the city.
