the rhodes lunar house
Location: Rhodes Waterside
Type: 3d Model & Design
PROJECT BRIEF
Nestled in the vibrant heart of Rhodes Waterside shopping center, “The Rhodes Lunar House” stands as a striking celebration of Asian culture and Lunar New Year festivities. Designed in 2021 within a mere three-day timeline, this 40-square-meter pop-up event space marries tradition with modern aesthetics, creating an unforgettable experience for visitors. This project is yet another testament to the collaborative creativity between Bato Studio and CreatedbyClint, showcasing our shared vision of transforming spaces into captivating stories.
The entrance is marked by a golden Tori gate, its elegance amplified by a gold sign spelling out “The Rhodes Lunar House.” The design leverages a harmonious blend of green tones and organic shapes, with a “blob effect” floor mimicking the lush texture of grass. The flooring, adorned with dynamic patterns of light and shadow, creates a captivating contrast against the neutral white tones of the mall, drawing attention to the space’s unique character.
Drawing inspiration from Asian heritage, the design pays homage to traditional elements through the thoughtful use of rattan and bamboo screens. Earthy materials such as raw wood and Vietnamese conical hats add a rustic charm, while red lanterns suspended from the roof cast a warm glow, heightening the festive atmosphere. At the center of the installation lies a 3m x 3m wooden hut, a welcoming focal point that houses a cabinet and features soft floor mats to create a cozy, inviting interior. This hut exudes warmth, symbolizing hospitality and the spirit of the Lunar New Year.
Scattered throughout the grassy landscape, adorable tiger head sculptures peek playfully from the ground, reflecting the zodiac animal of the year and adding a whimsical touch. Surrounding the space, bamboo seating and coffee tables invite visitors to linger, while glowing festoon lights illuminate the lush “fields,” enhancing the enchanting ambiance.
This 8m x 5m pop-up event space is more than just a design; it is a celebration of cultural identity, innovation, and community. By juxtaposing the vibrant green grass effects and traditional red lanterns with the mall’s minimalist tones, “The Rhodes Lunar House” achieves a visual and emotional impact that resonates with visitors. Created in partnership with CreatedbyClint, this project reflects a shared commitment to blending creativity with meticulous design, leaving a lasting impression in the heart of the shopping center.
