About Moli Landscape Restaurant
Moli Landscape is a restaurant interior located in a shopping mall in Shenyang, China. The design uses a high skip-floor layout and floor-to-ceiling lighting, allowing sunlight and air to flow freely through the space. The main facade is left blank, forming an open cave-like entrance. Guests walk along a winding stream amid shifting light and shadow, then ascend stairs to a raised dining room with wider views. Roof lines form large cantilevers that decline with a natural slope, recalling the feeling of sitting in the mountains. Materials include stainless steel, silver finishes and stone.

- Project Duration
- The project is located in Shenyang, China and completed in December 2020.
- Operation Flow
- The main facade is blanked, which creates an open cave in turn. Next, the poetic ambience that the literati seek for can be provided to guests as they wander along the stream in the midst of the shifting lights and shadows. Then, guests can have a broader horizon after slowly ascending the stairs. After that, sitting in the high dining room, guests can enjoy the changeable views at different times.
