About Huangpu Taste Restaurant

Huangpu Taste is a private dining interior placed inside an office building in the Lujiazui central business district of Shanghai. The 650 square meter space is not open to the public and serves internal reception and dining, which reduces travel time and supports work efficiency. Abstract forms of mountains, stones, water reflection and fish shadows shape the hall. Repeated vertical lines order the private rooms and recall a bamboo forest. Wood veneer covers the ceiling, oxidized copper faces the walls, and rattan is used on the chairs.

Press Kit

Unique Properties: The project is located in an office building in Shanghai Lujiazui CBD, which is the most advanced economic position in China. It is not a catering place open to the outside world, but a space used for internal reception and dining in urban office in order to reduce travel time and improve work efficiency. The appearance of the abstract forms of mountains and stones, water reflection and fish shadow seems to have some words, but it has a tacit understanding that silence is better than sound.
Dimensions & Packaging: The project covers a total of 650 square meters.

Production Technology: The ceiling of the box is covered with wood veneer, which seems to be the wooden floor of the wooden house, the oxidized copper facing on the wall, the mottled texture that can not be copied, and the rattan materials on the chair seem like time telling a story and telling us to face the present calmly.
Design Challenge: In the most modern and prosperous CBD building in Shanghai, this case integrates strong traditional elements, adding a touch of fireworks to the fast-paced working environment of urban elites.
Research: Space needs a sense of ritual, but it should also be fun and warm. Deep in my memory, there is always the warm touch of the old Jiangnan courtyard and old wooden house. In such scenes, the dishes always have the smell of fireworks and the fragrance of natural attributes. Chatting between tea and dinner can open your heart, and drinking and drinking is reasonable.
Inspiration: The word "mountain" and "water" is an inseparable noun. It is often the boundary of a country, a region or even a race and culture. Therefore, the word "landscape" and ancient and modern literati are inextricably linked. For the modern people in the fast-paced life behind, they are also fascinated by the landscape. In social activities, even in the setting of semi working scenes, it is also psychological gratifying to create a little indifferent atmosphere.
Project Duration: The project started in November 2018 in Shanghai and finished in October 2019 in Shanghai.
Operation Flow: In the box space, the repetition of vertical lines regularizes the sequence of the space, making people feel as if they are in the bamboo forest and can enjoy drinking by the curved water.
