Unique Properties: The trattoria is a restoration of an Italian town. The country house’s walls and windows, red brick façade walls are just like a plaza. Together with the parquet tiles, they all recall a feeling of an exotic Italian town.
Dimensions & Packaging: The site area is 369 sq.m²
Tags: Dolce Vita, Classic movie, Italian country house, Italian town elements, 30’s & 40’s Hollywood movie.
Production Technology: The centerpiece of the restaurant is a wooden decoration imitating natural tree branches, connected to a radiating aluminum ceiling in wood surface finishing, while the walls are parqueted with red bricks of different thickness.
Design Challenge: Italian - Dolce Vita - sweet life, is a relatively abstract feeling. It is an attitude to life and guides us how to enjoy life. What we expect after a day’s hard work is nothing more than enjoying a meal at a leisurely and comfortable restaurant. This is also what we wish to offer to our family.
Research: The design is based on CIAK All Day Italian business philosophy. It hopes to present a mood and an attitude to life to their guests. To restore an Italian countryside culture, tell Dolce Vita - sweet life philosophy, and restore a mood of the 30s - 40s classic Italian movies. We research mainly on the internet.
Inspiration: The design is inspired by and resonates Italian - Dolce Vita. It features Italian home’s natural feeling and motifs of their brand including classic Italian movie scenes, nostalgic posters and video player. The comfortable setting with brick, natural wood and tiles hints at the picturesque streets of Italian towns, while vintage posters and projections recall the golden years of Italian cinema.
Project Duration: The project started in Feb 2016 and finished in June 2016 in Hong Kong.
The Restaurant is located at Shop# 265, 2/F Cityplaza, 18 Taikoo Shing Road, Taikoo Shing, Hong Kong.
Operation Flow: Near the entrance of the restaurant is a display of grocery products. This follows the old philosophy of Italian grocery where high quality products are open for customers’ selection.
On the back of the restaurant, an overhead projector is set to play videos of old movies on a screen from time to time. Sitting on the sofa, visitors can capture a feeling of watching movies in an old theatre and recollect memories of the dazzling Hollywood of the 30s and 40s.
