About Beyond The Flow Restaurant-Interieurdesign

Beyond The Flow ass den Interieurdesign vun engem Yakiniku-Restaurant zu Taichung, Taiwan. De Projet erstreckt sech iwwer zwou Etagen mat enger Gesamtfläch vun 280 Quadratmeter a bitt Plaz fir 48 Gäscht op der éischter Etage. Bougenfërmeg Duerchgäng a verstreete geometresch Ouverturen verbannen d'Raim a loossen d'Liicht an d'Aromaen duerchgoen, ouni massiv Maueren. D'Bannemauere si aus natierlechem Laterit mat Diatoméenäerd a Reisstréi gemaach, déi Gerécher absorbéieren an d'Fiichtegkeet ausbalancéieren. Eng verstoppte Downdraft-Ventilatiounssystem entfernt de Damp, sou datt keng Ofsaugapparater un der Plafong gebraucht ginn.

Behind the Design

Unique Properties: The arcshaped aspects extend from the exterior inwards, blending the space superbly methodical. The arced overhead pathways create the sense of passage from one room to the other without vertical walls and barriers. Beautifully designed geometric holes scattered around the space allows light and fragrance to flow through in a borderless form elegantly. Through the meticulously placed arched light strips and light bulbs, customers gain the ability to freely absorb the beautiful visuals of the space while enhancing their meal at the same time.
Dimensions & Packaging: The project consists of two floors equal to a total area of 280 square meters.

The property was originally a US military dormitory dating back to the 1960s. Previously, the area was lined up with rows of Japanese style Showa period buildings. The building was renovated through continuous economic growth and modernization into a yakiniku specialty restaurant. The establishment can service up to 48 seats on the first floor while providing a private and secluded workspace on the second floor.

Production Technology: The interior walls are made of natural laterite containing diatomaceous earth. It consists of humidity tolerance, odor absorption, and maximum heat capacity. Laterite bricks are natural stones that have cooling and thermal insulating properties. Rice straw is added, serving several purposes, the rice straws contain air purification properties through their natural fragrance. The purification aspect is commendable alone, drastically reducing the stench of thick oil in the air.
Design Challenge: High quality ventilation system and equipment are critical for a grill restaurant like this. The designers at Nong Mu could muster up multiple methods to manage smoke; one being the installation of hidden smoke ventilation systems. The downdraft of the ventilation prevents smoke from filling the air, thus eliminating the need to install overhead ventilation equipment. The hidden vent provided an effective way to manage smoke and maintain the much-improved aesthetic of the restaurant.
Research: The dining area adopts an open design, benefiting from two arc passages to replicate moving lines and space flow. The tea area is a central location and a connecting channel for multiple areas. Through smart placements of lighting and table arrangements, staff can maintain maximum efficiency without clutter, as a result, this boosts operation capabilities of the establishment and thus improves customer dining experience further.
Inspiration: The project design concept relies on the fundamentals of cave like, porous systems. The designer transformed the space into curved tunnel systems on the interior while being geometrical squares on the exterior. The exterior relies on crevices, gaps, and scattered holes to allow light and openness to seep inwards. The attractive arched entrance is durable and aesthetic. An incredible aurora of smoke is replicated under the combination of light and mist.
Project Duration: The project is located in Taichung, Taiwan. The design commenced in November 2020 and will be completed in January 2021.
Operation Flow: The light strips illuminate the reflective glass behind at night, creating an infinite ring optical illusion. The luminous lights and soft mists instantly attract pedestrians and pique interest and curiosity. Light strips are further utilized on the interior to assist in blending on the outside. The designers utilized the benefits of the large windows, using them to create a reflective pane to improve the iron ring's aesthetic and blend the exterior and courtyard inwards.
