About When the Present Meets the Past Restaurantinterieurontwerp

Wanneer het Heden het Verleden Ontmoet is een restaurantinterieurontwerp in de stad Taoyuan, Taiwan, voltooid in augustus 2015. Het project vernieuwt een oud plaatselijk restaurant binnen een pand van 198,34 vierkante meter. Het ontwerp put uit de stijl van Suzhou, China, en past Chinese esthetiek toe op de eetruimte. Het plafond is geïntegreerd met een rooster gebaseerd op Chinese houtbouwmethoden. Traditionele Chinese houten deuren met gesneden vensterroosters verdelen de gangen en maken flexibel gebruik mogelijk. Spiegelende oppervlakken vergroten visueel de breedte, en grote muurschilderingen tonen traditionele taferelen.

Design Challenge
The exterior of the building retains the structure of the original building, combined with Chinese architectural features, making visitors experience as if they are instantly in the misty and rainy Jiangnan thousands of miles away. The dining area is set up with a number of large-scale murals depicting the beauty of tradition, through which the original appearance of the south is sealed.
