上海托普高尔夫休闲区丨中国上海丨hcreates interior design

Lounge by Topgolf, Shanghai

Topgolf is one of the world’s leading sports entertainment companies, famous for its fun and engaging venues combining active entertainment and good food. With an immense appetite for the new and exciting, Shanghai was the perfect location for the first international location.

Socializing over food and drink is a huge part of living the Shanghai lifestyle. Topgolf sought to create a truly unique experience for Shanghai and entrusted the task to the well-known interior design studio, hcreates – the team behind many of Shanghai’s beloved hospitality venues. hcreates knew the success of this project relied on bringing together all the different elements into one cohesive space.

Hannah Churchill, the founder of hcreates realized the challenges that lay ahead. “From the world-class simulators and minigolf to a great food and beverage program and VIP suites, Topgolf was looking for a design that complements its heritage while being accessible to Chinese customers experiencing the brand for the first time.” As the space was located in the heart of Shanghai, hcreates drew inspiration from the art and heritage of the People’s Square neighborhood, by exploring Chinese mediums in a contemporary way as the driver of the interior theme. Taking inspiration from the flowing movement of calligraphy, which influenced the curving forms and movement within the space. The soft colours and texture of watercolor paintings helped direct the earthy colour palette within the space.
