About Dongli Restaurant

Dongli is a restaurant interior located within a commercial complex in Chongqing, China. The project covers 1270 square meters on two floors. Geometric forms and a minimalist approach are used to recall the mountains and rivers of the surrounding region. A sculptural spiral staircase rises from a raised part of the ground floor and connects the two levels. A two-story corridor is arranged around a central courtyard, so views remain open between the floors. The main materials are black and green marble, white artificial stone, wood flooring, silver mirror and stainless steel.

Press Kit

Unique Properties: Through the exploration and expression of geometric modeling architectural sense and minimalist aesthetics, the designer transforms it into indoor and outdoor artistic scenes with interesting thinking, and then interprets the resonance in vision, touch and spirit, and reproduces the humanistic landscape pattern of "The length of Wushan mountain is 700 meters, and the current of Bashui is winding and tortuous" in Bayu region.

Production Technology: The main materials in this project are Black Galaxy marble, green marble, white artificial stone, wood floor, silver mirror, corrugated stainless steel, copper plated stainless steel, PU foam stone skin and customized wall cloth.
Design Challenge: In order to make the first floor and the second floor interrelated, the designer lifts up a part of the floor surface, and a sculptural spiral staircase rises from the ground, carrying the space sense of ascending and extending. The dynamic rhythm reveals the feeling of temperature in a quiet picture. The newly built two-story corridor takes the middle courtyard as the center body, and the unobstructed view makes the interaction between the upstairs and downstairs smooth and harmonious.
Research: With the gradual maturity of public aesthetics and the innovation of new people, people's pursuit of dining space is no longer a simple temptation of taste buds, but also a longing for food culture and the spiritual space formed by its extension. Stepping into the first floor hall, subverting the conventional space structure, bold and distinct color layout, and the combination of rigid and flexible materials, all of these let people seek a surreal balance in the cold.
Inspiration: Dongli restaurant is located between a high-end commercial complex in Chongqing. Chongqing, an ancient civilized city, which has been pregnant with Tongliang culture for thousands of years, is known as the "Land of Abundance". Therefore, according to the regional characteristics, under the dominant atmosphere of modernism, the designer integrates the local culture and historical context.
Project Duration: The project started in September 2019 in Chongqing and finished in October 2019 in Chongqing.
Operation Flow: Each private room on the second floor is wrapped in low-key luxury. The smooth lines are combined with the modern art track, supplemented by low-saturation and elegant color matching. In this unintentionally created space, diners can feel the elegance of mountains and rivers everywhere.
