The Design

About Dabpa-Shatin Restaurant-Innenarchitektur

Dabpa-Shatin ist ein Restaurantinterieur im Erdgeschoss eines Einkaufszentrums in Hongkong. Der Grundriss folgt einer zellenartigen Form mit einer 360-Grad-Zirkulation, sodass das Personal jeden Tisch von der Küche aus problemlos erreichen kann. Der Gastraum umfasst 2233 Quadratfuß. Jede Bankettbestuhlung ist neben einer großzügigen Fensternische mit einer Topflandschaft platziert, was den Gästen Privatsphäre und einen eigenen Ausblick bietet. In die Oberflächen sind Moosplatten eingelegt. Der Entwurf verbindet Innen- und Außenraum und wirkt eher wie ein Garten als wie ein Lokal.

So people are able to enjoy their own piece of landscape while enjoying their dining. Additionally, each piece of the moss plate you found in the design were inlays and they were installed base on our design intuition, we first worked out certain modules of the mosses to create more than 100 foam plates and test fitted each of them on site for best visuality combination.
