The original space was a bare industrial space in Shanghai downtown reconverted into a commercial building. Our unit has a floor area of 500m2 and a clear height of 6m what gave us the opportunity to build a mezzanine and add an extra 250m2. The program had to incorporate the central offices and showroom of a local high-end fashion brand. We decided to use the mezzanine as showroom and keep the ground floor for office use. The geometry of the mezzanine that is winding through the original structure shapes the distribution of programs underneath. The mezzanine is hanging from the concrete columns with sloped surfaces, creating a series of differentiated spaces in its underbelly: double height spaces, high spaces with sloped ceilings, low ceiling areas and closed boxes. Each space will be designated to a different team (design, production, retail, sales). The CEO and CFO offices as well as the meeting room will have a glass and wood partition towards the open plan for privacy. The mezzanine is sculpted in the underbelly and touches the floor shaping 3 denim boxes that hold the sample rooms, printing room, equipment room and the stairs.

DAGA Café is located on the ground floor of a communist residential 5-story building in Downtown Shanghai. Even if the building is located in the heart of the former French concession it has no particular architectural value. The space has a U shape around the public staircase of the building and was highly influenced by the presence of a sequence of beams and pipes hanging1 meter below the ceiling.
