EV by Explorvine is a winery and retail project with approximately 500 sqft, inserted on the ground floor of a residential complex, located in the Rua da Doca dos Holandeses, in Macau SAR.
Explorvine is the combination of Explore + Wine, which are represented as yacht and wine glass, respectively, in the original logo. Therefore, the concept spirals around the experience inside a yacht.
The design features an array of modular wine cubes, which are used for logistics, that serves as the bar counter, storage and seating area. The aforementioned modules and functions are connected into one piece of installation with cubical undulation, running from the interior to the exterior. The ceiling of the bar counter area is lowered with the material and feature of ship decking, in order to create coziness via an adjustment of human scale.
