About Dabpa-Shatin Desen Enteryè Restoran

Dabpa-Shatin se yon enteryè restoran ki sitiye nan premye etaj yon sant komèsyal nan Hong Kong. Plan an swiv yon fòm ki sanble ak selil ak yon sikilasyon 360 degre, konsa anplwaye yo ka rive nan chak tab fasilman soti nan kizin nan. Zòn manje a mezire 2233 pye kare. Chak plas ban vole a plase bò kote yon gwo fenèt ki gen yon peyizaj nan yon po plant, sa ki bay dinè yo entimite ak yon vi pèsonèl. Plak mous enkrite atravè sifas yo. Desen an konekte espas enteryè ak ekstèryè epi li parèt tankou yon jaden olye ke yon magazen.

Production Technology: each set of the banquette seater is designed next to a large window scene with a unique piece of potted landscape to provide extra privacy to customers. 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.
Design Challenge: The project required to provide a welcoming restaurant design that is attractive to the passersby inside this busy mall. Client wanted it all age orientated to make the stereotyped Sichuan cuisine more hospitable. Privacy was one great concern too, client wanted an unconventional space that able to encourage private conversation, so small groups of customers from the hustle city can liberate there longer. Occasional private event was also another guideline.
