Design Details
- Unique Properties
- In this case, the designer breaks the existing traditional Chinese design, makes use of the original texture of wood and stone materials, plus appropriate soft accessories, laying out an artistic conception full of wild interest and unconventional. The application of its waterscape and several natural landscapes ingeniously integrates the beauty of nature and modern architectural aesthetics in one place, making the whole case become an innovative exploration of space and nature.
- Inspiration
- In today's fast-paced life, if there is a way for people to relieve fatigue, sort out the pressure and relax their mood, it will undoubtedly make people yearn strongly. With this will, Yinshi Shanfang comes into being. The designer redefines the concept of "Yinshi" and presents the Chinese health restaurant differently from the traditional one. To create a new landmark of Taiyuan restaurant is the origin of the team design.
- Research
- The restaurant is called "Shanfang", and the design of the overall space is also around the wild interest in the mountains. At the top of the table for six people, the designer has a new way to create the ups and downs of the clouds in the mountains with the texture of weaving itself, which is refreshing. Along the corridor, looking to the end of the dining area on the first floor, the layers of cloth correspond to the pendants depicting the mountain and cloud pattern.
- Challenge
- A waterscape is specially added next to the service desk, facing the leisure teahouse in the waiting area, so as to avoid anxiety and impatience when the guests are waiting. The undulating modeling top of the waterscape area echoes the scattered platform, outlining the floating feeling of cloud, mountain and fog cover and secluded dust. The decoration of several false pines makes the overall atmosphere more fresh and refined.
- Realization and Technology
- The use of large-area wood veneer presents a kind of original ecological and pure natural tension. The irregular hollows on both sides of the gate are like sunshine forest. Under the night scene, there is a kind of dreamlike feeling of light and shadow. The sign of storefront arouses people's desire to push the door and enter the restaurant.
- Operation and Interaction
- With rockery as the background, the service desk has laid the simple, quiet tone. The accessories under the light are all in the shape of wild bacteria, which not only complements the theme of the restaurant, but also highlights the elegant and noble flavor of its gold hollow details.
- Project Duration and Location
- The project started in July 2018 in Shanxi and finished in December 2018 in Shanxi.
- Specifications
- The project covers a total of 600 square meters. The interior space design also continues this theme, trying to create the pure ecological atmosphere of natural indifference and tranquility. Because of the deep understanding of the interaction between space and architecture, the designer does not need too much complicated decoration, which reflects the Zen full mood, so that every guest can reach a unified feeling from the visual and psychological as soon as they enter the door.
