Kimpton Shanghai
An interior precedent for monumental hospitality atriums that use towering metallic drapery and multi-level dark glass balconies to create a dramatic sense of vertical scale.
- What we like about this project
- Massive floor-to-ceiling metallic mesh curtains act as semi-transparent architectural columns dividing the immense vertical space.

- Geometry
- Symmetrical multi-story atrium with stacked mezzanine balconies framing a central vertical volume, anchored by towering floor-to-ceiling chainmail drapery.
- Structural guess
- Steel frame with suspended mezzanine floor plates and hung decorative mesh.
- Spatial scale
- Monumental multi-story volume; towering drapery extends four or more vertical levels.
- Lighting
- Moody, low-light interior scheme punctuated by precision downlights on the ceiling grid and warm floor-level illumination.
- Atmosphere
- Somber, theatrical, and ultra-luxurious, defined by dark reflective surfaces and glowing vertical threads.
- Environmental context
- Interior hotel lobby or atrium space with controlled artificial lighting and no direct exterior exposure.
- Spatial experience
- Dramatic vertical scale transitions from an intimate, rug-defined lounge grouping into an immense, soaring multi-level chamber.
- Composition rhythm
- Strong vertical columns of metallic mesh balanced by the horizontal stepping of multi-story gallery edges.
