Fire part of the project
For a two-fold programme of formal eating and relaxed lounging an opposition of moods was created. The result is two synthetic and strange worlds: fire and ice. Inspired by the seasonal ice buildings of Sapporo, the ground floor features cool greys materialised in glass and metal. Tables are sharp fragments of ice: a raised floor level drifts like an iceberg across the space.
Above the ice chamber whirls a furnace of fire, rendered in searing reds, brilliant yellows and exuberant oranges. A spiral above the bar tears through the ground-floor ceiling, curling up to the underside of the upper-level dome like a fiery tornado bursting through a pressure vessel. A plasma of biomorphic sofas accommodates eating and lounging and allows an infinite configuration of seating types with movable trays and plug-in sofa backs.

The interior design of Infinitus Plaza continues the architectural narrative established by the building’s exterior form. Echoing the symbol for infinity (∞), the design creates a series of shared indoor and outdoor spaces that reflect Infinitus’ core values: connection, adaptability, and collective well-being.
The Serpentine North Gallery consists of two distinct parts, namely the conversion of a classical 19th century brick structure – The Magazine – and a 21st century tensile structure. The Serpentine North Gallery is thus – after MAXXI in Rome – the second art space where ZHA have created a synthesis of old and new.
