About Bco Yangzhou Zhongji Restaurant Interior Design

Bco Yangzhou Zhongji is a restaurant interior design located on the ground floor of the Zhongji Wenchang Center in Yangzhou, China. The space covers nearly 500 square meters and is double height, with full height windows that bring in daylight. The material palette combines low saturation concrete, pale oak and off white surfaces. Cascading ferns, monstera plants and a living moss wall of 1.8 meters add greenery to the dining area. The facade was rebuilt so that the restaurant reads as transparent from both inside and outside.

Unique Properties
BCO Yangzhou Zhongji sits on the ground floor of Zhongji Wenchang Center at 618 Wenchang Middle Road—locals call it “the most Instagram able brunch oasis on Wenchang.” Nearly 500 m² of double-height space is washed in daylight by full-height windows; inside, low-saturation concrete, pale oak and off-white set the tone, while cascading ferns, monsteras and an 1.8-metre living moss wall drop the perceived temperature by three degrees.
Dimensions & Packaging
500 sqm
Design Challenge
The transformation of the facade of the original building, and internally and externally transparent.
Inspiration
BCO is an emerald quietly set into the city’s steel ribs. Push the door and a seven-meter glass vault pours liquid sunlight over the din, rinsing it into soft silhouettes. The timber bar meanders like a river; the kettle’s silver stream draws an improvised violin string in mid-air. Concrete walls are tamed into warm rice paper where moss and ferns splatter ink, growing into breathing mountains.
Project Duration
The project started in September 2024 in Yangzhou, China, and finished in February 2025. And the restaurant opened for business in February 2025.
