Hui
Hui is a whisky bar designed to also serve as a public living room for a residential community. The interior measures 12 meters by 10 meters, with a height of 3.7 meters. Arched windows and doors can be closed for privacy or opened so that outdoor guests can speak with people inside and with the bartender. Five linear threads of different materials give the space a shared sense of direction. Brick, rock slabs, teak, metal and mirror stainless steel create rough, smooth, reflective and contrasting surfaces. The floor tiles emphasize the main axis.
Hui Whisky Bar by Yu Liu has been recognized as a grand example of architectural design by the A' Design Awards. Hui Whisky Bar received the Bronze A' Design Award in Interior Space and Exhibition Design in 2023. The A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award is an international, jury-voted, fair and ethical design accolade that honors excellent design of residential interiors, restaurants, hotels, offices, galleries, retail stores, showrooms, exhibition spaces and more.
