Regarding Pumpkin House Restaurant
Pumpkin House is a restaurant interior set within a two-story light steel structure building in the center of Taichung. The design theme follows Halloween, matching the pumpkin dishes served by the restaurant. Manual bricklaying methods were used to modify and reinforce the exterior walls, so the facade differs from the nearby stores. Red bricks and pinewood divide the seating on each floor. The ceiling keeps the original steel texture, and blue painted timber contrasts with the brick. Recycled wine bottles form a partition on the second floor.

Design Details
- Unique Properties
- The original two-story light steel structure building is situated in the heart of the city, where is full of homogenous stores around. Therefore, we exploit different manual bricklaying crafts to pile up and modify the exterior walls thence elevate the facade. And in order to distinguished with the adjacent buildings, yet at the same time to reinforcing the structure without destroying the overall proportion. Thereupon, accomplished a well balance in safety measures and visual presentation.
- Inspiration
- With the theme of Halloween as the design concept, which match up the series of pumpkin meals of the brand "PUMPKIN HOUSE". Bring out a vivid visual impression through the adjustment of spatial tinge and ambience. We take the advantage of various crafts of making use of red bricks, not only from the combination of red brick itself, but also to the bonding of composite materials, which applied all over the space.
- Research
- The seating division on each floor is making use of brick partitions, which exploit varying construction methods. Utilize red bricks and pinewood, which brings the humanistic implication of the space. Whole space is laid out through bright hues, lines and materials.
- Challenge
- The toilet that with the least mention in the spatial planning becomes a major point in this project. The restaurant owner expects us to create a distinct landscape, deliberately set it on the second floor, so that people can explore more interesting elements on their way. In the corridor along the way, we have set up bunch of exhibitions. Exploit red bricks as the base element, inlay the pinewood and wine bottles that bring the surprising visual sensation as well as follow the direction of the flow.
- Realization and Technology
- The ceiling retains the original steel texture; merely adopt elegant jazz blue painted timber and red bricks, to form an amusing contrast of hue. The ground is collaged with warmth retro tiles, which go along with the solid wood and stone bricks of the stood side. Take advantage of pinewood to shape the wall surface of the first to the second floor as an attic. Via the lights projection, which extended the vertical visual perception. The private section on the second floor made use of recycled wine bottles as the partition that fabricates a semi-private space, at the same time of environmental performance.
- Operation and Interaction
- Pumpkin House with rich fantastic colors and humanistic temperature. People’s cheering and laughing were heard from time to time from the corners of stacked red bricks. While tasting flavorful meals, the customers would sensate the bizarre surprises of the daily life.
- Project Duration and Location
- The project started in December 2013 in Taichung and finished in July 2014.
- Specifications
- We used diverse methods to simulate 1:1 scene. For example, at the entrance of the first floor, we exploit bricklaying to construct an opening image, and the warm pinewood creates a staggered effect of interval. Bring about the genial and concise spatial circumstance with natural flavor.
