About Dragon Munus Primarium: Popinae Interior Designatio

Draco est popinae interior in aedificio officii technologiae oeconomicae Pekini sito positus. Designatio duo milia et quingentos metros quadratos complectitur et atmosphaeram placidam elementis naturalibus fundatam quaerit. Difficultas praecipua erat quod octoginta centesimae spatii cenatorii sub terra iacent et nullum lumen naturale accipiunt. Natura igitur simulatur. Cataracta et piscina in concreto fuso technologia digitali formantur, et anaticulae aeneae in superficie natare videntur. Cenacula privata vallis figuram in memoriam revocant, cum plantis et temporibus anni, et lumen simulatum haec loca conclusa sustinet.

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: simulation of nature, cast concrete
Production Technology: Concrete Casting a "waterfall" and "pool" via digital tech.
Design Challenge: 80% of the dining space is located underground and therefore there is no natural light.
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.
