Films from the 1970s informed the aesthetic of Basehall, an upscale food court in Hong Kong designed by studio Linehouse.
Basehall is a food hall set within Jardine House, a 52-storey skyscraper in Hong Kong that's punctuated by rows of circular windows.
Following its completion in 1972, the distinctive building was featured in a number of films. These early cinematic depictions came to influence Linehouse's interior design scheme for Basehall.

"Jardine House was a landmark on the Hong Kong skyline and the tallest building in Asia for several years," said the studio.
"[Basehall] seeks to convey an atmosphere of nostalgia through its spatial arrangement and the use of materiality, lighting and detailing."

The hall is split across two levels, which are each designed to have their own distinct ambience. On the ground floor is a bright and buzzing "market courtyard", which offers treats from seven artisanal Hong Kong food vendors. Upstairs on the first floor is a drinks bar that's intended to have a warmer and more intimate feel.

Each niche is fronted by a powder-blue arched frame and a half-moon-shaped canopy fitted with spherical lights, matching the pendant lights that dangle from the ceiling.
