八荒设计近日完成了上海西岸LOAM瓷屋咖啡的室内及立面改造设计。在这片亚洲最大规模的艺术集聚区之一，这座有着鲜明外立面的圆形瓷屋仿佛城市绿洲中的一座小岛。八荒的设计师们为LOAM顾客创造了一个非常规的休憩体验，让他们在有限的空间中感受自然，回归自然，成为自然的一部分。

STUDIO8 recently completed the interior and facade renovation of LOAM cafe&bar on the West Bund of Shanghai. In one of the largest art clusters in Asia, this spiral-shaped porcelain house with a distinctive facade stands out like an island in an urban oasis. The designers of STUDIO8 created an unconventional leisure experience for LOAM’s customers, allowing them to experience a piece of nature within a confined space in the city, and to feel like they can connect with nature during their stay in the space.

我们接受这个项目时，面临了两个挑战：建筑功能的变化和原建筑立面的不完整。八荒接到的设计任务是将原来封闭的艺术展览空间改为咖啡厅兼酒吧功能，让空间在不同时段和举办特殊活动时，轻松完成功能和场景的转化。但是,如何将一栋（半）透明建筑的室内与外立面分开呢？八荒决定对建筑的外立面、室内、景观做整体再设计。

When STUDIO8 started on this project, they faced two challenges: the change in the building’s function and the incomplete facade of the original building. The design task STUDIO8 received was to transform the originally enclosed art exhibition space into a coffee shop and bar, allowing the space to easily change functions and scenes at different times and during special events. However, a big question was how to separate the interior and exterior facades of a (semi) transparent building? STUDIO8’s solution was to redesign the exterior, interior, and landscape of the building as a whole.
