Beile Hotpot: A Fusion of Tradition and Innovation

Chen Fengfeng and Jiang Baoyi's Award-Winning Interior Design

The design of Beile Hotpot is deeply rooted in Chinese culture and history. The designers, inspired by the architectural culture of the Qing Dynasty, have created a space that not only serves its function as a dining area but also reflects the users' traditional architectural heritage. The name "Beile" itself is a nod to the traditional Chinese culture, representing a charcoal fire copper pot hotpot shop.

What sets Beile Hotpot apart is its unique use of Chinese architectural techniques. The design closely links the space's decoration vein with the Qing Dynasty's unique architectural style. The square pattern of Chinese architecture is symmetrically distributed in the spatial pattern, and the roof is represented by the tenon-and-mortise structure of the ancient roof ridge. This approach enriches the visual art experience of the space and meets the needs of the Chinese space view.

The realization of this design involved the use of Chinese-style building eaves to create a bright and easy space. The designers also incorporated soft film pervious to light hand-painted landscape painting, reflecting the spirit of the Qing Dynasty garden and infusing the entire space with a modern atmosphere amidst the deep ancient rhyme.

The design of Beile Hotpot is not just about aesthetics; it also provides a unique user experience. The designers have created a visual feast that introduces the Qing Dynasty Chinese architectural style into the space, creating a daily life experience reminiscent of the old Beijing Baylor men with red walls and yellow tiles. The internal space's color scheme, featuring cinnabar, phthalein blue, red gold, and wood color, presents the hedonism of the old imperial city.

Despite the challenges of integrating the roof structure with the custom combination of lights on the roof cornices and the unique design of the wall and pavilions, the designers successfully carried out every detail of the design. The result is a space that presents the elements of the Qing Dynasty to each direct experience, using the doors, windows, and walls.

In conclusion, Beile Hotpot is a remarkable example of how traditional culture can be seamlessly integrated with modern design. Chen Fengfeng and Jiang Baoyi have created a space that is not only functional but also a tribute to the rich architectural culture of the Qing Dynasty. This design serves as a reminder of the enduring influence of tradition in shaping our contemporary spaces.
