豹房四合院的古今对话 明代正德皇帝嗜养豹子，据传他专门建造了“豹房”作为自己宫城外的享乐之地，钟鸣鼎食，极尽奢靡。近500年后，豹房原址已更名为报房胡同，月梁受到委托，在这里为HOUSE OF WANG创建一间生活美学艺廊，将其精选的数十个全球新锐家居品牌以富有生活艺术感的方式呈现，表达产品对多元文化、工艺材质的不懈追求和探索。 在这凝聚了传奇历史韵味的空间场域，月梁以材料为突破口，将场地所在四合院的4个空间，以不同建筑材料装点，带来全新的空间表情，创造出包容前卫、兼具中国审美情趣的场所。同时，激发产品工艺与建筑材料之间的对话，让新锐和古韵在不断碰撞间，达到一种新的平衡。 作为艺廊的开篇，正厅保留了场地原有的木结构和木地板，选择具有北京符号特征的砖红色为主调，浓烈的色彩削弱了家具个性的凌厉线条，展现了一幅视觉强烈的多层次空间。沙发座区使用了运输过程中常见的木架来陈列，如同博物馆展览雕塑一般，被托起的家具多了一分仪式感，也强化了产品的独特艺术性。在浓墨重彩之后，一起感受空间的独白。天井的漫反射，是地下室唯一的自然光源，而白色材料助其进一步改善了整体光环境，伴随拉槽石膏的丰富细节，触发纯粹而细腻的感性体验，意境悠远。灯具的展示隐蔽于拉槽石膏板之后，使得空间的初见保持纯净。同时，让每款产品拥有自己的舞台，尽情发挥个性及光感而互不影响，也为后续更换陈列提供了便利。东厢房主要展示配饰。陶瓷制品和白砖，玻璃器皿和水晶砖，建筑材料与工艺材料共鸣产生的和谐语言，在此处尽显，或质朴、或透亮，让小件器物在空间中延展了它的触觉感受。西厢房为品酒室。深色哑光金属和木饰面，共同营造了成熟、稳重的气氛，为品鉴干邑和雪茄提供了适合的场景，同时衬托出金属和皮质材料家具的光泽感。材料的巧妙利用，让四合院中的古今对话碰撞出多样的氛围，而其鲜活不羁的生命力也与豹房的昔日光辉得以相承。
Architecture studio SlowStudio and Dramaa have joint force to renovate its flagship designer gallery for House of Wang – a platform which represents over 10 global contemporary designer brands and artists at a courtyard house in central Beijing. The creative direction of the project was informed by a multitude of inspirations. Set in the context of original structure of traditional Chinese house typology and oriental ornament, each interior space adopts its own theme in aim to display the multi brand designs and art pieces. Cosiness of timber contrasts with glittering glass, architectural materials themselves provoke sensual feelings and act as backstage for the contemporary pieces. Moreover, it is the juxtaposition of modern industrial production to the traditional handmade craftmanship defines the narrative for this vision of the overall interior design. In order to satisfy an overall cohesiveness and different functional requirement from House of Wang, designer has overturned the site constrain in terms of dimension and lighting to its very advantage. For instance, there was only limited access of skylight at the underground level. Designer has chosen white Carrara marble to display the collection of pendant lamps which needs a defused illumination. Furthermore, the humble height of side rooms branch out from the main room displays accessory brands 1882 and Paola C which encourage a more intimate relationship between the viewer and the pieces. A more muted darker palette decorates the cigar and congac room which is the smallest room of this courtyard house. HOUSE OF WANG exclusively represents a number of refined international brands debuting in China, including Se collection, Ochre, Nada Debs, Apparatus, Omar Khan Rugs, Paola C. and 1882 Ltd, as well as artist Peter Yuill, Corine Van Voorberge and Alexa Lixfeld. In addition, HOUSE OF WANG carries products from Bethan Gray, Lee Broom and Calico Wallpaper.
