The Design

About Howard's Gourmet Restaurant

Howards designkonsept for gourmet kombinerer klassiske kinesiske arkitektoniske elementer med moderne materialer og designkonsepter for en ny visuell gradient. Utformingen av restauranten består av private spiserom og er basert på det gamle Siheyuan-konseptet. Med massiv bruk av gull i moderne former skaper det en moderne palatial storhet. Ancient utsikt over dannelse av himmel og jord, de 5 elementene i kosmologi er viktige former og former som brukes til å dekorere det indre av spisesalene. Dekorert med rike farger, blomster og geometrisk stoff, er miljøet beriket med munter stemning.

Tags: Classical Chinese style, Fine Dining, Siheyuan, Modern Chinese style, The 5 elements of gold, wood, water, fire, earth.
Production Technology: The Siheyuan layout is designed to offer high level of privacy for restaurant’s celebrity guests. Flexible panels are installed for partitioning interior of rooms for smaller gatherings. To sustain big seasonal temperature differences, wooden materials are minimized while stainless steel, fabric and marble stones are adopted as major materials. With special arrangement of colors and shapes, it offers a vivid visual gradient.
Design Challenge: Since the design consists of high privacy VIP rooms, each room is well-equipped with independent facilities. To build washroom facility in each room required a full scale re-construction of drainage system which was only possible after a lengthy approval process by the mall management and relevant governmental departments. Progress was further delayed by drastic weather conditions.
Inspiration: Design is inspired by restaurant founder Mr. Howard Cai's culinary philosophy. Classical Chinese ingredients combine Western chemistry to reconstruct and create contemporary tastes based on essential Chinese flavors. Located in the modern landmark mall WF Central overlooking China’s cultural heritage of the Forbidden City, the design is a Modern Chinese style with essential Chinese elements presented in contemporary style.
Project Duration: The restaurant is located in Beijing, Capital of China. The location was picked by restaurant founder Mr. Howard Cai and is situated in the landmark mall WF Central with a panoramic view of the Forbidden City.The project started in April 2017 and finished in October 2017.
