SUMMARY
Line house worked in collaboration with Louis Li, principal and creative director of Black Star Pastry, to convert a redbrick old villa on Yuyuan Road, Shanghai into Black Star Pastry's first flagship store in China. Conceived as two venues over two floors, the ground floor operates as Black Star Pastry's cake and coffee retail space, while the second floor reveals a new dining space for the brand - Black Star Gallery. Combination of the two spaces creates a futuristic retail complex that encompasses dining, design, art, and lifestyle
