wine cellar at the bund
wine and cigar bar in the basement of former US embassy in Shanghai
The Wine cellar at the bund is organized with the greatest flexibility in terms of spatial utilization, with a highlight of the storage facilities for both cigars and wine. The entrance from the garden side is designed for the club members to experience the wine collection and then go through the bar into the main space, walking past with a glimpse of the single malt scotch collection.
There are three open spaces that can be treated as one single continuous space or three separate spaces. The largest space is designed as a public space where club members can enjoy tasting of wine and conversation. For the discerning members who like to enjoy a quality cigar in the privacy of a room designed specifically for this purpose.
The design of the interiors of this bar is complete with a focus of elegance and romance. We wanted to have a classic appearance of the space as a whole, using materials that have earthen tones and texture, with simple and beautiful coloration that highlights spatial definition. There will be a mixture of materials that accentuate our design philosophy of elegance and romance. Some of the materials will be used to invoke the memory of yesteryears. Some of the materials will be new such the glass and lighting of the cigar and wine storage spaces, with in mind of a maximum exposure of the fine collection if wines and cigars this club has .
