Design Details
- Unique Properties
- This is a high-end restaurant specializing in traditional Sichuan cuisine, located at No.177 Tianfu Avenue, Guixi Street, Wuhou District, Chengdu, Sichuan.

- Inspiration
- Master Lin Yutang once explained the beauty of architecture as follows: "We are indulged ourselves in it, but we have no idea where nature ends and art begins."

Drawing inspiration from seasonal scenery, the YDS Design Office endows it into Carefree, allowing guests enjoy themselves and feel the power of nature.
- Research
- When entering the art corridor people will find a picture of sparse bamboo and moonlight shadow.

- Challenge
- The designer installed a 360 degrees LED screen on the wall where the vegetation can show the change of the four seasons over time, from lush green to fully dyed autumn color, echoing with the business philosophy of Natural Appeal Restaurant that taking seasonal materials to cook seasonal health food, and using artificial objects to vividly express the ancient wisdom of getting along with nature.
