Design Details
- Unique Properties
- This plan aims to create a dining space that combines luxury and vitality, perfectly integrating the exquisite craftsmanship of top-notch Wagyu beef cuisine with the casual and free-spirited nature of craft beer, bringing a multi-sensory feast to guests. The design is based on the concept of an "urban oasis", carving out a serene and vibrant space in the bustling city, allowing guests to enjoy a moment of tranquility and relaxation while savoring delicious food and wine.
- Inspiration
- The semi-open layout of the Wagyu restaurant draws inspiration from the traditional garden design principle of "changing views with every step," using the interplay of solid and transparent screens and the natural growth of plants to divide the space. This design preserves the ceremonial feel required for Wagyu cuisine while using the breathing sensation of greenery to alleviate any sense of confinement.
- Research
- Material and Atmosphere Compatibility: Analyzing the combination of metal and resin panels to create a "retro-futuristic" feel, as well as the role of functional devices such as Wagyu beef display cabinets and craft beer racks in enhancing the dining experience. Ultimately, through multi-dimensional design, a composite sensory experience of "food, nature, relaxation" is achieved.
- Challenge
- Separation of dynamic and quiet atmospheres: The tranquility of the Wagyu restaurant and the liveliness of the beer bar are separated by only a wall. Acoustic design (such as sound-absorbing materials and soundproofing of space partitions) is required to prevent noise interference and maintain the purity of each atmosphere.
- Realization and Technology
- The prefabricated wood paneling uses modular splicing technology to reduce on-site construction waste. Its surface is treated with a matte moisture-proof finish, making it suitable for the humidity conditions of semi-open spaces. The junction between the wood paneling and the art glass is concealed with stainless steel edging strips to achieve a refined transition between materials.
- Operation and Interaction
- Beer Bar: It adopts an open layout, connected to the Wagyu beef restaurant yet relatively independent. The bar counter is made of metal and resin boards, creating an atmosphere that blends the retro and the futuristic. Behind the bar counter, there is a display shelf for craft beer, showcasing a wide variety of craft beers.
- Project Duration and Location
- The project is designed to commence in Zaozhuang in July 2024 and complete the design work by September 2024.
