Boxing Cat Brewery stands as a cornerstone of China’s craft brewing revolution. Born in Shanghai, it quickly rose to become the city’s most celebrated brewer, a testament to its dedication to quality and innovation. After years of triumph, the brand set its sights on Beijing, and we were thrilled to offer them our former ILotus space within the SHANG building—a prime location complemented by a charming outdoor area, perfectly suited for their inaugural brewpub in the capital. Collaborating closely with their design team, we crafted a space that is as distinctive as it is inviting—a warm, eclectic haven where guests can savor exceptional food alongside meticulously brewed beers. This project marked a milestone for us, not only as our first collaboration with such seasoned professionals but also as our debut in designing a fully functional brewery. The experience was both inspiring and rewarding, and we eagerly look forward to future opportunities to bring such ambitious visions to life. And if you find yourself at Boxing Cat, sipping on one of their legendary brews, don’t hesitate to swing by our office for a chat—we’re just upstairs, always ready to raise a glass to great design and even better company!
