Interviews
Grand Interview
Your innovative integration of environmental consciousness into Green Burger Shop Interior Design's core aesthetic has earned recognition including the Bronze A' Design Award - could you elaborate on how you translated the vegetarian ethos into spatial design elements?
Peace Vegan is a brand that upholds the philosophy of "treating the earth well, stopping the exploitation and abuse of animals." They aim to create delicious plant-based meals and provide an environment that makes plant-based eating convenient, encouraging more non-vegans to gradually adopt a meat-free diet and embrace the values of environmental sustainability and green living. Therefore, the designer introduced a new "green forest" concept, blending natural elements such as sunlight, air, and plants as the core design theme throughout the space.
The Green Burger Shop Interior Design features striking use of natural light through transparent glass facades - what inspired your decision to create this visual connection between the busy city outside and the serene interior space?
The designer preserved the openness and flow of the indoor space by avoiding window obstructions, allowing natural light to penetrate indoors. This achieves ventilation and energy-saving benefits, such as reducing the need for artificial lighting. At the same time, users enjoy an unobstructed view, bringing the green landscape outside into the interior.
How did the technical challenge of combining the kitchen space with the loading area in Green Burger Shop Interior Design lead to creative solutions, particularly regarding the raised platform that elegantly transitions into the staircase?
Since the elevator is located at the rear of the first-floor space, goods are typically transported through the side door via the elevator to the freezer on the third floor. Therefore, the designer designated the area in front of the elevator as an employee lounge and unloading zone. The kitchen is positioned between the unloading zone and the restroom in an L-shaped layout, including a heavy-grease cooking station and light-grease areas for salad assembly and beverage packaging. Once the kitchen location was finalized, the designer addressed the drainage issue by raising the kitchen floor and incorporated the staircase into this design. The elevated platform doubles as staircase steps, reducing its visual impact.

- Production Technology
- The burger shop which has light transparent glass on both sides of the façade are open vision to the busy city. The counter adopted green mosaic is the best stage for the green plants. The looming window bar table arouses the curiosity of passersby. Glass chandeliers above the bar table exudes a romantic and leisurely atmosphere.
On the left of the counter is the white staircase leading to the second floor. Light wood-colored steps extend the traffic flow, sunlight and air upwards from the ordering area to the Dining area. - Design Challenge
- The biggest challenge in this case should be to combine the kitchen space with the loading area, and to plan the location of the inner staircase on the second floor. Since the goods must be placed in the freezer on the third floor through the elevator which is located at the back of the first floor, the designer planned the space in front of the elevator as a staff room and loading area. The kitchen space arranged between the loading area and the toilet is an L-shaped configuration, including frying area, salad assembly area and beverage area. A wide counter is most prominently placed in front of the entrance.
After determining the location of the kitchen, the designer solved the kitchen drainage problem by raising a part of floor. At the same time, the raising platform is also used as a stair step to reduce the awkwardness. - Research
- Lesser consumption of animal products is necessary to save the world from the worst impacts of climate change, UN report says.
Climate change has become increasingly apparent in recent years. Many research indicates that huge greenhouse gas emissions from animal husbandry and deforestation for animal feed are already negatively impacting the environment. Therefore, a new wave of vegetarianism has begun to rise everywhere. Not only can you see the slogan "Less Meat, Less Heat " internationally, but "Meatless Monday " has been implemented in Taiwan's primary and secondary schools for more than ten years. These actions are all calls for the public to change the meat-based diet to a plant-based diet to reduce the pressure on the global ecological environment. - Inspiration
- The client in this case is the food brand that persists to the concept of “be kind to the earth's environment and stop the exploitation and abuse of animals”. They want to make a delicious plant-based diet and provide an environment that is convenient for vegetarian diet. This brand allows more non-vegetarians to continuously and gradually adopt a meat-free diet and establish the values of Environmental friendly.
