TAIYUAN NUMQUAM REVETOR WHISKY BAR

Beijing, China - Located in Taiyuan Xiaodian, the
capital of Shanxi Province in North China, this
project consisted of the refurbishment of two
floors of a commercial podium, part of a standard
real-estate housing complex. The scope of the
intervention extended on the area of three existing
shops and aimed to unify them into a single
Whisky and cocktail bar. The space, mainly facing
the main street, also had a discreet access from
the back to a pedestrian commercial street.
Due to the presence of an apartment building on
top, the space was heavily constrained by the
structure, with load bearing walls slicing up the
space into small entities, but also various pipes
and shafts crossing the space from side to side.

Facing the heterogeneity of the
existing situation and surroundings,
the work on the façade was essential
to allow the new project to exist in the
cityscape. JSPA chose to remove all
existing facade claddings and to
recreate a new facade that would
oppose the usual light cladding of
commercial facades. They worked on
a cast-in-place concrete facade that
will assert its presence in the context
through its materiality. The concrete
as a material allowed JSPA to create
a monolithic facade that brings a new
texture into the city, and which also
provides a long-lasting cover for the
existing building.
The main facade of the building was
composed with three concrete arches
extending on the two floors of the
building, asserting the project's
identity and drawing attention within
its context.
The Concrete Arch was then
repeated and transformed in various
ways to become a figure that would
constitute the identity of the project.
CONCRETE AS
THE DEFINING
FACADE MATERIAL

The project development aimed to
create a bar for the city, and a
gathering place opened to its
surroundings. To emphasis the
orientation of the space towards the
street, the bar area was covered with
a concrete arch ceiling, a curved
suspended slab, cast in place, that
also allowed to dissimulate the
service spaces in the back and all the
machinery and pipes from the
existing building.
OPEN BAR
Focusing on a strong dialogue
between the project and the city, the
ground floor of the bar was
conceived with a long concrete bench
along the facade, usable on both
sides, and a set of folding windows
enabling the removal of physical
barriers with the street.

Leaving the bustling first floor with
its urban atmosphere, a sculptural
helicoidal steel staircase leads to the
second floor, where the project
developed into a more intimate
ambiance. A system of steel shelves
was developed to create subtle
separations between spaces and
generate intimate alcoves, while
offering a showcase space for whisky
bottles. Made from the boundless
repetition of a single identical
element, the showcase shelf created
an interesting pattern that became
the second strong identity element
of the project.
To accentuate the alcove feeling,
three of the independent spaces
were covered by a concrete arch,
wrapping the space from wall to
ceiling and allowing the cast-in
design of benches and fireplaces.
