Chuan Xi Pa Zi Ti-House

The rich and fertile land of western Sichuan has given birth to countless distinctive flavors that dominate the cuisine of people throughout the year. Chuan Xi Pa Zi Ti-House seeks to revive bonds of friendship and pass on the legacy of this spicy dish in a unique building located on Jiaoci Avenue.

The smooth sloped roof of the original structure is preserved and inspired the idea of cozy living. Bamboo tools used in the hard labor of western Sichuan became the best assistants for people. We reinterpreted them and created many related interior components, including overhangs and screens that continue the spatial perception.

The external architectural feature penetrates inside, and the closed yet free layout satisfies strict business standards. The relationship between the entrance and the street zone, the central design element, and the structure highlight lightness, transition, and integration.

The bustling and vibrant Chuan Xi Pa Zi stands out among flickering lights.
