by Intentional Oriental (Beijing) Design Consultant Co., Ltd.

Project Description


Located in Maotai Town, Guizhou, China, renowned for its rich cultural heritage in liquor-making, this project is commissioned by Jinjiao Liquor Industry Group, a company specializing in crafting high-end liquor. The task for the design team is to create a space within their headquarters building that showcases the brand culture, products, and offers experiential activities. The space consists of two floors, with the lower floor dedicated to product displays and the ground floor serving as the main entrance hall. The entire design aims to highlight the ancient liquor-making history of Maotai Town and the brand history of Jinjiao, along with its unique and charming brewing techniques.
The basement floor is transformed into the product showcase center, embodying a design ethos centered on natural integration, mystery, and ceremonial aesthetics. This space epitomizes an Eastern liquor aesthetic, seamlessly blending exhibition, tasting, and experiential activities. Inspired by the concept of "grain as the flesh of liquor, koji as the bone of liquor, water as the blood of liquor, and technique as the soul of liquor," the design team employs artistic techniques to manifest the four fundamental elements of liquor-making and the rich culture of Jinjiao Liquor Industry. Through the strategic use of dark tones and focused lighting, a mysterious and historical ambiance is crafted, enveloping visitors in an atmosphere reminiscent of ancient wine cellars, heightening the sensory experience of wine tasting.
The first floor, designated as the brand culture exhibition experience center, embraces a minimalist design philosophy, guided by the principle of "less is more." Drawing inspiration from art galleries, the space undergoes a transformation, featuring a lofty ceiling structure, revamped internal layouts, and a loft-style architectural design. Themed areas are seamlessly interconnected through corridors, passageways, and staircases, facilitating visitor flow and establishing a multidimensional spatial layout. This redesign optimizes space utilization efficiency and enriches the spatial hierarchy. By integrating artistic installations, cultural exhibits, and diverse multimedia displays, the space seamlessly blends artistry with functionality, culminating in an exceptionally artistic cultural environment.
The central design concept revolves around the theme of "Contemporary Oriental, Art Space," with the aim of seamlessly blending modernity and tradition. The goal is to create a cultural exhibition space that combines spatial dynamics with cultural displays and interactive experiences. Through innovative spatial transformations, the design strives to fuse contemporary and traditional elements, providing visitors with a multifaceted cultural immersion and interactive engagement.
