Bo Zhou · CLIENT: Jingle Design
Moli Landscape is a restaurant interior located in a shopping mall in Shenyang, China. The design uses a high skip-floor layout and floor-to-ceiling lighting, allowing sunlight and air to flow freely through the space. The main facade is left blank, forming an open cave-like entrance. Guests walk along a winding stream amid shifting light and shadow, then ascend stairs to a raised dining room with wider views. Roof lines form large cantilevers that decline with a natural slope, recalling the feeling of sitting in the mountains. Materials include stainless steel, silver finishes and stone.
