About Gentle L By Alan Yu Disinn Intern ta' Ristorant

Gentle L minn Alan Yu huwa ristorant Franċiż li jinsab f'Shenzhen, iċ-Ċina. L-interjur ikopri 800 metru kwadru u jitbiegħed mit-tqassim tradizzjonali ta' ristorant. Fiċ-ċentru tal-ispazju hemm kolonna kbira tal-azzar miksija b'aluminju mkemmex maħdum bl-idejn, u t-tikmix jonqos mill-ebusija tal-kolonna u joħloq punt fokali viżiv. Skrins tal-azzar inossidabbli mkabbra jifirdu l-kmamar privati filwaqt li jżommu kampu viżiv ċar, sabiex is-servizz jingħata mingħajr ma jiddisturba lid-dinjatur. It-tpjan semi-magħluq joffri privatezza u ħarsiet li jinbidlu.

Production Technology
At the middle of the space erects a huge steel column made of hand-made wrinkled aluminum featuring wrinkles, which soften the column visually and make it appear more flexible, hence becoming a visual highlight in the space.
Curved stainless steel screens are used to effectively separate private rooms. Such arrangement ensures the timeliness of services since it provides better field of vision, without interrupting diners. The design enables the realization of an attentive service system.
Design Challenge
As the project is a partial transformation of the original restaurant, the challenges are reducing negative effects on the original restaurant and adding more toilets.
Research
The project shows a novel artistic interpretation of aesthetics. In such a space, one table, two persons and delicious food can form a poetic, distinctive and storytelling scene. The project is an attempt to shape the future of the city, and to stimulate people to discover the inner mind and explore playful experiences.
Inspiration
Most French restaurants usually have a traditional spatial pattern. As approaching the project, the design team, however, made an innovative attempt, which broke with the conventional layout while also bringing in French-style elegance and romance. From geometric shapes to natural material textures, dim light and music, all elements are aimed at producing unique and emotion-evoking spatial experiences and allowing people to enjoy the space as if they are appreciating a piece of wonderful music.
Project Duration
Start time: January 2020
Completion time: July 2020
Shenzhen, China
Operation Flow
It is a France restaurant. Slanting curved structures are freely combined in the space. The fluent planes and broken curved shapes create fluid spatial scenes. Floating structures and oblique forms generate a playful sense of lightness and instability. The space is semi-enclosed, which not only ensures privacy but also enables people to enjoy varying scenes and have different feelings when walking in it.
