Lu Style – Shanghai | Schin Architects with Atelier W
Lu Style Shanghai is the seventh edition of this boutique restaurant chain. Situated in a pair of traditional Shanghai Shikumen dwellings, the restaurant serves luxury cuisine originating from the coastal Shandong province.
The project comprises a combination of dining formats with an emphasis on private dining rooms combined with three bar areas and a flexible multipurpose art gallery and function space. Working within the tight confines of a reconstructed heritage site, we sought to bring a light touch and breathe a breath of fresh air into the formal and somewhat austere buildings. The result was a series of spaces that were unexpected and engaging, encouraging further exploration.
