Topgolf tasked us with reimagining a series of mini-golf holes for their Lounge by Topgolf venue in Shanghai, seeking a design that celebrated local culture through artistic mediums. Drawing inspiration from Chinese calligraphy, watercolour art, and film, the brief also called for the 10th hole to be a miniature version of the Topgolf driving range, creating a distinctive, memorable feature for visitors.

The Brief
In collaboration with Shanghai-based agency Hcreates, we designed the hospitality spaces to reflect the rich heritage of Shanghai’s People’s Square neighbourhood. The fluid movement of Chinese calligraphy influenced the layout’s flowing, curving forms, while the earthy tones of traditional watercolour art introduced a soft, grounded aesthetic.
The final design blends elements of traditional Chinese culture with contemporary design, weaving calligraphy-inspired flow and subtle textures throughout the space to offer an immersive, culturally resonant experience for guests.
