About Blue Tandoor Restaurantindretning

Blue Tandoor er en restaurantindretning beliggende i Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia, med et areal på omkring 3.500 kvadratfod. Buede loftsbølger minder om kuplen på Taj Mahal og giver rummet en formel karakter. Geometriske buer, gitterværk og teksturerede vægge refererer til sydasiatiske og mellemøstlige stilarter. Flettede kurvelamper, hårdttræsoverflader og messingdetaljer tilføjer varme. Dybe blå nuancer minder om måneskinnets ro. Computerstøttet design blev anvendt til at planlægge buemønstrene og den rumlige disponering. Interiøret forener traditionelle referencer med moderne spisekomfort.

Production Technology
This design was created using CAD software to carefully plan and refine intricate arch patterns and structural elements. Materials like premium hardwood, woven wicker, and brass accents were selected for both durability and aesthetic appeal. Traditional lighting techniques were employed to enhance natural light and create a warm, inviting ambiance. CAD modeling ensured precision in material use and spatial arrangement, optimizing functionality and harmony in the overall design.
Design Challenge
The hardest challenge in this design was balancing traditional aesthetics with modern functionality. Maintaining cultural authenticity while meeting contemporary standards of comfort and style was key. Internally, we respected historical and social perspectives, while externally, material availability and local production posed challenges. Overcoming these involved sourcing sustainable materials and using CAD technology to ensure precision and efficiency in the design process.
