Unique Properties
The Dragon Restaurant is located in the Financial Tech office building. A relaxing restaurant atmosphere with natural elements is sought. One of challenges is that 80% of the dining space is located underground and therefore there is no natural light. There is a balance between Financial Tech and nature.
Dimensions & Packaging
2500 sqm
Tags

Design Challenge

Research
cast concrete. simulated natural light
Inspiration
Nature is simulated: one by casting a "waterfall" and "pool" via digital tech. Some copper ducklings even "swim" on this cast installation. Because of the long cold winters, outdoor-waterscapes are not suitable in Beijing, but people love water features. Another simulation is to imitate the shape of a valley and various plants and different seasons in the private dining rooms which are without windows and natural light.
Project Duration
2019-2020, Beijing
Operation Flow
Even though it is underground, people like its environment and feel good because of the simulation of light and the nature.
