About Howard's Gourmet レストラン

ハワードのグルメデザインコンセプトは、古典的な中国の建築要素と現代的な素材を組み合わせ、斬新な視覚的グラデーションのためのデザインコンセプトを備えています。レストランのレイアウトはプライベートダイニングルームで構成され、古い四合院のコンセプトに基づいています。金を現代的な形で大量に使用することで、現代的な宮殿の壮大さを生み出しています。空と地球の形成の古代の眺め、コスモロジーの5つの要素は、ダイニングルームのインテリアを飾るために使用される主要な形と形です。豊かな色彩、花柄、幾何学的な生地で飾られた環境は、陽気な雰囲気に満ちています。

Production Technology
The Siheyuan layout is designed to offer high level of privacy for restaurant’s celebrity guests. Flexible panels are installed for partitioning interior of rooms for smaller gatherings. To sustain big seasonal temperature differences, wooden materials are minimized while stainless steel, fabric and marble stones are adopted as major materials. With special arrangement of colors and shapes, it offers a vivid visual gradient.
Design Challenge
Since the design consists of high privacy VIP rooms, each room is well-equipped with independent facilities. To build washroom facility in each room required a full scale re-construction of drainage system which was only possible after a lengthy approval process by the mall management and relevant governmental departments. Progress was further delayed by drastic weather conditions.
Inspiration
Design is inspired by restaurant founder Mr. Howard Cai's culinary philosophy. Classical Chinese ingredients combine Western chemistry to reconstruct and create contemporary tastes based on essential Chinese flavors. Located in the modern landmark mall WF Central overlooking China’s cultural heritage of the Forbidden City, the design is a Modern Chinese style with essential Chinese elements presented in contemporary style.
Project Duration
The restaurant is located in Beijing, Capital of China. The location was picked by restaurant founder Mr. Howard Cai and is situated in the landmark mall WF Central with a panoramic view of the Forbidden City.The project started in April 2017 and finished in October 2017.
