Design Shanghai 19th to 22nd in June 2024.
HC28 showroom is a modern interpretation of the traditional courtyard houses, presenting to the viewers the ‘leisurely life’ in the courtyard houses, which seems to be a dialogue between space and time, tradition and modernity, and East and West
.
The story of HC28 begins in a place that is 28 kilometers away from the Forbidden City, where tradition meets modernity and East meets West. In Shanghai, we have created a ‘modern courtyard house’ in the showroom, which has the lingering charm of traditional courtyard houses, but with a modern aesthetic refinement through the interpretation of HC28 What is hidden in this courtyard house is not only a vivid spatial scene but also a desirable living experience!
The façade of the courtyard house is beige in color, refined and elegant, complemented by simple and transparent hollow brick walls, creating a sense of relaxation and breathability. The interior of the courtyard house retains the architectural layout of ‘a courtyard house surrounded by rooms’, and the four groups of space surrounding the courtyard house are composed of different styles and functions of living scenes. Three groups of the living space, created with the classic HC28 products, present three distinctive styles and characters.
HC28 café is connected to the courtyard house, which is paved with blue bricks, and there are communal seats everywhere, so when you step into the courtyard house, you can get away from the hustle and bustle, return to peace, feel the elegance, and find the kind of peace and leisure that you have not seen for a long time. We hope that the exhibition will be immersive and slow-paced, where visitors can go on a pleasure trip, stop to have a rest, observe, listen, and even ask questions to find the state of life they desire.
The modern courtyard house brought by HC28 is not only a design work, but also a profound reflection of the current urban renewal, changing consumerism, and the pursuit of a fresh lifestyle in China.
