Project Overview
Hangar35, located in Ninghai County, Ningbo, Zhejiang, is a multi-functional club centered around motorcycle culture, integrating a restaurant, bar, and motorcycle supply hub to create a unique cultural consumption experience for moto enthusiasts. The design draws inspiration from aircraft hangars, echoing their function of maintenance, storage, and protection. With a classic arched structure composed of black metal and curved glass, the architecture presents a powerful yet minimalist industrial aesthetic. By combining a dynamic spatial layout with an immersive experience, the project transforms the free-spirited essence of motorcycle culture into a tangible architectural expression.
Design Concept
The space is divided into distinct zones, with the first floor housing the dining and bar area alongside a motorcycle customization workshop, each with independent entrances. The second floor features private client spaces and a dedicated club venue for exclusive social gatherings. A key highlight of the design is the vertically integrated display platform embedded within the façade, serving both functional and experiential purposes. When positioned on the ground level, motorcycles are accessible for close-up viewing, while when elevated, they become dynamic exhibits on the upper floor. The ultra-clear glass façade turns this movement into a striking visual spectacle, enhancing both the operational efficiency of bike storage and the immersive storytelling of the space. The arched aluminum ceiling, combined with linear strip lighting, creates the sensation of speeding through a tunnel, while the exterior lighting, inspired by motorcycle brake lights, features red arc-shaped LED installations, reinforcing the identity of speed and motion.
