Design Details
- Unique Properties
- Polygonal planes, slanting structures and "floating" forms are brought into the space, which challenges established architectural values and releases imagination. Irregular geometric shapes break with the convention, and indicate an attitude of exploring undefined order and an experiment of achieving self-worth. The space is conceived as a broken and void sculpture, which features dramatic expressions and artistic tension.
- Inspiration
- It's a new Chaoshan cuisine restaurant & club, which bears the mission of carrying forward Chaoshan cuisine. Composed of private dining rooms, a tea room, a cigar bar, a whisky bar and an audio/video room, it adopts a novel operation concept and provides a unique spatial environment. The designer conceived it as a kind of modern energy and applied an advanced design concept, aiming to create a "tentative" spatial state: the space is endowed with value and defined by what happens in it.
- Research
- This space brings people into another world, which is like a virtual world in films. It's surreal, dramatic and abstract, showing a futurist image. In addition, it's storytelling as well. The space connects a series of activities, and forms an interesting and theatrical scene.
- Challenge
- The project is a multi-functional venue that consists of dining area, bar, cigar room, tea room, etc. Therefore, the challenge lies in how to create a balance design that blends dynamic and silent spaces.
- Realization and Technology
- The design team adopted a creative and experimental approach to express paint, which is given different hues and textures. Besides, the wooden floor and stone materials form a contrast. The solid and the soft, the cool and the warm, collide yet harmonize with each other. Moreover, elements such as humor, mystery and dream are incorporated into the space.
- Operation and Interaction
- The designers accentuated light since it's a visible substance, and intended to convey the spiritual world through the materiality of light. Light produces a mysterious, tranquil ambience whilst evoking emotions and illusionary effects. As approaching the project, the design team tried to apply Western design order to create and interpret Oriental spatial qualities and philosophy.
