About Dabpa-Shatin Diseño de Interiores de Restaurante

Dabpa-Shatin es un interior de restaurante ubicado en la planta baja de un centro comercial en Hong Kong. La planta adopta una forma celular con circulación de 360 grados, de modo que el personal puede llegar con facilidad a cada mesa desde la cocina. La zona de comedor mide 2233 pies cuadrados. Cada banco corrido se sitúa junto a una gran escena de ventana con un paisaje en maceta, lo que ofrece a los comensales privacidad y una vista personal. Placas de musgo se incrustan a lo largo de las superficies. El diseño vincula el espacio interior y exterior y se percibe como un jardín más que como un local comercial.

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.
