MO Gallery & Lounge Project information and credits: Design company: Quarta & Armando Architecture Design Research Design team: Gianmaria Quarta, Michele Armando, Gu Tao, Tianyi Mao Commissioning client: MO Gallery & Lounge Location: Nanchezhan Road 129, Shanghai (China) Built area: 249 sqm Completion date: December 2019 Photographer: Dirk Weiblen ( dirkweiblen.com ) Two very different souls coexist in a single space in Shanghai: a flexible art gallery and a sophisticated lounge floor. With one secret. A couple from Shanghai who has worked abroad for years in finance decided at some point to go back to their hometown and dedicate themselves to what they really love: art and refined whiskeys. In this context Quarta & Armando have been called to design two very different environments but connected by the type of experience that the owners want to offer to their guests.
