Happiness Lane Club

A Blend of Art and Functionality

Happiness Lane Club, designed by Huang Quan, is a unique and innovative space that seamlessly blends art, architecture, and functionality. Situated in the historic Happiness Lane Park in Shanghai, this integrated complex industrial area serves as a creative office building, cultural artwork exhibition, and commercial entertainment venue.

Quan's inspiration for the design came from a careful study of G-Art's history and culture, combined with a contemporary taste for beauty. The designer aimed to create a space that reflects both Eastern cultural deposits and Western design methods. By utilizing local materials such as marble, wood, metal, and glass, Quan achieved a sense of simplicity and elegance.

The G-Art Clubhouse stands out for its seamless integration of interior, architecture, and landscape. Traditional and contemporary elements are skillfully combined, creating a poetic dwelling that cruises through the mortal world. The rooftop club, with its breathtaking views, is considered one of the most beautiful in Shanghai.

One of the key strengths of the design is its ability to cater to multiple functions. Originally intended for domestic meetings, gatherings, and family unions, the G-Art Clubhouse has evolved to meet the changing needs of the modern workplace. With a focus on creating a sense of home, the space provides an environment conducive to concentration, efficient communication, and social interaction.

The design of the G-Art Clubhouse presented several challenges. The existing building, an old factory, required careful refurbishment and renovation. Rather than demolishing the structure, Quan embraced its history and incorporated contemporary construction methods to transform it into a modern space. The result is a harmonious blend of the old and the new.

The G-Art Clubhouse has received recognition for its outstanding design. In 2017, it was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Interior Space, Retail, and Exhibition Design category. This prestigious award recognizes designs that exhibit strong technical and creative skills, contributing to improvements in quality of life.

With its unique blend of art, architecture, and functionality, the G-Art Clubhouse in Shanghai's Happiness Lane Park is a testament to Huang Quan's innovative design approach. It serves as a prime example of how a space can be transformed into a multi-functional environment that caters to the needs of the modern world.
