Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: BCO Yangzhou Zhongji sits on the ground floor of Zhongji Wenchang Center at 618 Wenchang Middle Road—locals call it “the most Instagram able brunch oasis on Wenchang.” Nearly 500 m² of double-height space is washed in daylight by full-height windows; inside, low-saturation concrete, pale oak and off-white set the tone, while cascading ferns, monsteras and an 1.8-metre living moss wall drop the perceived temperature by three degrees.
Dimensions & Packaging: 500 sqm
Design Challenge: The transformation of the facade of the original building, and internally and externally transparent.
Inspiration: BCO is an emerald quietly set into the city’s steel ribs. Push the door and a seven-meter glass vault pours liquid sunlight over the din, rinsing it into soft silhouettes. The timber bar meanders like a river; the kettle’s silver stream draws an improvised violin string in mid-air. Concrete walls are tamed into warm rice paper where moss and ferns splatter ink, growing into breathing mountains.
Project Duration: The project started in September 2024 in Yangzhou, China, and finished in February 2025. And the restaurant opened for business in February 2025.
