ORCHID MASSAGE JHQ BRANCH

ORCHID MASSAGE JHQ BRANCH

Shanghai \ 2017-2018 \ 310 sqm \ hospitality

 

 

“From limitations come possibilities” is a common recurring story in architecture.

 

When the local fire code prevented any use of wood and other combustible materials for basement located tenants, this particular Orchid Massage branch had to seek an alternative positioning.

 

The humble red brick, at its peak of use in Thailand during the Ayutthaya period, offered a source of inspiration, and allowed the opportunity to reinterpret the same explorations in portals and architectural elements to create an ancient kingdom experience.

 

As one’s mind and body rests, the moments through the space and massage treatment meander between familiarity of the past and the interpretation of the present.

 

 

Note:
The space has since been rebranded as LANN MASSAGE.
