Production Technology: For the materials, we chose bronze and black walnut to match the floodlit lighting to give people a warm and natural feeling.The fair-faced concrete wall highlights the architectural essence, while the white oak is used in the wine cellar to create a professional wine cabinet for storing high-end wine.
Design Challenge: In addition to using bicycles from the original building to transform the ramps into wine cellars, the designer also layered the sloping upper part of the terrace space, using the second floor as another storage and display space for food and wine.
So that the original small area, low utilization of space limitations have become HIK9 can be displayed in all aspects of the advantage.
Research: The owners of the restaurant and designers at JFR Studio have agreed to provide friends and regulars with an intimate and comfortable place to enjoy food in this rapid iteration of the stresses of urban life.
