Zebar by 3GATTI Architecture Studio

Zebar is a music bar in Shanghai with a very impressive interior space designed by 3GATTI Architecture Studio. It has an undulating cave-like form created by apertures cut into fins along its length. All panels in create for creating special effects is cut by hand (low-cost fixed-defining), according to the architect of 3D game rendering fast enough.

This project was born in 2006 when a Singaporean movie director and an ex musician from the south of China decided to open a live bar in Shanghai. The budget was very low but the client was incredibly good and open-minded to us. The schedule was very tight and fortunately they liked immediately one of the first concepts I proposed to them: a caved space formed from of a digital Boolean subtraction of hundreds of slices from an amorphic blob. The idea looks complex but actually is very simple and was born naturally from the digital 3D modelling environments where me and others enjoy playing with virtual volumes and spaces.
