Projject

Shenzhen-based practice Projject crafts energetic retail and beverage interiors defined by graphic architectural interventions, exposed mechanical systems, and continuous floor planes that fluidly connect dark, sculpted spaces to the street. The portfolio serves as a precise reference when detailing floating illuminated canopies, specifying bracketless glass shelving systems, or designing high-contrast thresholds for compact commercial storefronts.

深圳

A hospitality design precedent by Projject combining clean stucco massing with warm timber canopies and double-height interiors for a restaurant in Shenzhen.

What we like about this project
Integrated linear lighting wrapping the underside of the flat entry canopy gives a floating glow effect at dusk.

Geometry
Stacked rectilinear volumes with precisely punched windows and a projecting single-story timber canopy at the ground floor.
Facade system
Smooth plaster wall system with recessed timber-framed glazing and punched openings.
Structural guess
Steel or concrete frame with non-structural timber infill and cladding elements.
Spatial scale
Human-scaled ground floor storefront and outdoor seating beneath a two-story block.
Lighting
Daylight is overcast and diffuse on exterior views, shifting to warm integrated linear lighting beneath the evening canopy.
Atmosphere
Calm, orderly exterior transitioning to an inviting, warm timber-clad interior.
Environmental context
Courtyard or plaza setting surrounded by clean-lined, modern architectural volumes.
Spatial experience
The approach transitions from an open paved courtyard into a warm, double-height timber-lined dining volume under exposed beams.
Composition rhythm
Asymmetrical window placements balanced by a steady rhythm of columns under the ground floor canopy.
