The project located in the courtyard of this landmark complex. The procession of the space has a rhythm that was inspired as much by music as the hu-tong complex in the old city of Beijing. The material palette of the interior is quite simple: Black Metal, Pressed-Concrete board and perforated metal panel with acoustic treatment as wall surfaces. Lighting is mostly dimmed to accentuate the stage and performers, with accents of blue as part of the brand.
