Article source: Linehouse Located in Jing’an, Shanghai on a tree lined street, Tribeca is a New York style gastro pub. The interior has a lightness and a freshness, which is a departure from the surrounding dark and industrial bars and restaurants. Linehouse wanted to create a strong distinction between the existing and the new; a white datum was inserted into the space which operates as a shelf for display at high level and wraps the bar with a perimeter of shadowless bulbs suspended below. This new insertion contrasts to the existing concrete shell, which was left in its raw state.  Image Courtesy © Dirk Weiblen

Contained within this white envelope are mirror and bronze insertions, which create a sense of voyeurism and festivity with the mirror bulbs infinitely reflected upon their surfaces.

The centralised bar floats within the perimeter insertion, composed of stacked light wood logs, with a bronze and black metal shelving apparatus suspended above. The white canopy extends to the exterior, framing the entrance into the restaurant, with exterior seating upon the terrace.
