About Howard's Gourmet مطعم

يجمع مفهوم تصميم Howard's Gourmet بين العناصر المعمارية الصينية الكلاسيكية والمواد المعاصرة ومفاهيم التصميم للحصول على تدرج بصري جديد. يتكون تصميم المطعم من غرف طعام خاصة ويعتمد على مفهوم Siheyuan القديم. مع الاستخدام المكثف للذهب في الأشكال الحديثة ، فإنه يخلق عظمة فخمة معاصرة. مناظر قديمة لتشكيل السماء والأرض ، فإن العناصر الخمسة لعلم الكونيات هي الأشكال والأشكال الرئيسية المستخدمة لتزيين الجزء الداخلي من غرف الطعام. تزين البيئة بألوان غنية ونسيج زهري وهندسي ، أجواء مبهجة.

Production Technology
The Siheyuan layout is designed to offer high level of privacy for restaurant’s celebrity guests. Flexible panels are installed for partitioning interior of rooms for smaller gatherings. To sustain big seasonal temperature differences, wooden materials are minimized while stainless steel, fabric and marble stones are adopted as major materials. With special arrangement of colors and shapes, it offers a vivid visual gradient.
Design Challenge
Since the design consists of high privacy VIP rooms, each room is well-equipped with independent facilities. To build washroom facility in each room required a full scale re-construction of drainage system which was only possible after a lengthy approval process by the mall management and relevant governmental departments. Progress was further delayed by drastic weather conditions.
Inspiration
Design is inspired by restaurant founder Mr. Howard Cai's culinary philosophy. Classical Chinese ingredients combine Western chemistry to reconstruct and create contemporary tastes based on essential Chinese flavors. Located in the modern landmark mall WF Central overlooking China’s cultural heritage of the Forbidden City, the design is a Modern Chinese style with essential Chinese elements presented in contemporary style.
Project Duration
The restaurant is located in Beijing, Capital of China. The location was picked by restaurant founder Mr. Howard Cai and is situated in the landmark mall WF Central with a panoramic view of the Forbidden City.The project started in April 2017 and finished in October 2017.
