About Tirpse Bar and Restaurant
Tirpse is a restaurant and bar interior located inside a retail development in Hong Kong. The space of 3200 square feet is planned around the story of a visit to a chef's private dining hut. Five key elements shape the interior: a forest and its surroundings, the chef's wolf companion, the private hut, a tale told through food and a treasure chest. The treasure chest is a secluded seating area placed in a deep corner. Simple materials and details were selected to suit a three month construction period and a limited budget.

- Production Technology
- From design to construction, the space need to be renovated within three months of time. Based on the consideration of easier production methods together with budget concerns, we didn't want to use materials that's too costly and details that are hard to construct with. However, needed to be timeless and refined enough where people would not feel bored of.
- Design Challenge
- First to serve, it must be the insufficient time frame of the project. Furthermore, the space has a deep corner that we didn’t think would make a comfortable standard seating area, so we created a secluded cargo space there instead, which we nicknamed the Treasure Chest. While people are sitting there, we wanted to captivate them by the space and forget about the hustle world behind. We also thought about how to make the panoramic sea view to become more valuable. Not yet to mention about the challenge of merging the conceptual imagination into reality.
- Research
- On the basis of the Tirpse in Tokyo, we studied their menu and brand history thoroughly at the early beginning. When the cuisine itself already a superstate. We came up with a mission that just to proffer an enhancement lingo for this brand, like a bedtime story where people wouldn't be bored of. This is the impetus behind our research stage and reason to brought out a story
- Inspiration
- With the anatomical research of the brand history and menu, our studio created a story that would connect guests into the fantasy of the chef’s creation. It was composed in the concept of An exploration visit to the chef’s private dining hut. Therefore five key elements were generated within the space. Forest & surrounding, chef's wolf buddy, chef's private hut, story with foods and treasure chest.
- Project Duration
- The project started in September 2019 in Hong Kong and finished in December 2019
