About Haocailou Design Interior de Restaurant

Haocailou este un design interior de restaurant care prezintă cultura din Shunde. În cultura Shunde, Haocai înseamnă noroc, sărbătoare și culori bogate. Proiectul folosește numeroase lampioane, culori tradiționale și materiale stratificate pentru a crea o atmosferă plină de viață. Phoenixul, un simbol al norocului și o poreclă locală pentru Shunde, reprezintă tema principală. Scări galbene, cu balustrade care funcționează ca grinzi de susținere, conduc spre un bar deasupra căruia se află o barcă-phoenix cu două niveluri, care servește și la depozitarea vinului. Saloanele private de la etajul al treilea evocă lampioanele tradiționale în formă de pește.

Unique Properties: How to highlight Shunde culture and attract young people is the difficulty.

In Shunde culture, Haocai means good luck, a sense of festival, rich and beautiful color or colorful fabrics. Therefore, the project applied a large number of lanterns, traditional colors and multi-layer materials to form the lively atmosphere and present Shunde culture.

Phoenix meaning auspicious and is also a nickname for Shunde, so we took phoenix as theme to echo Haocai to express happiness.
Dimensions & Packaging: The project area is 542sqm.
Tags: Restaurant, Bar, Shunde culture, Cantonese cuisine，Innovative design
Production Technology: Desktop research and on-site market research about Cantonese cuisine and Shunde cuisine.
On-site visit to learn about Shunde culture.
Design Challenge: How to make the project highlight the cultural characteristics of Shunde, distinguish it from the daily Cantonese culture and attract the attention of young people, is the difficulty of our design.

The handrails are used as beams to support the overall weight. The yellow-stained stairs are magnificent and concise, like a dragon hovering up.

The traditional Shunde cuisine is changed to dining at the bar. The top of bar is based on a double-layer phoenix boat, which has the function of a wine rack. Going up, the corners of the eaves of the building are built with acrylic imitated glazed bricks, and the glass inlaid in the ceiling is reflected layer by layer, giving it a surreal touch.

The third floor is for private rooms, and the intention is derived from Shunde fish lanterns. The scattered dot layout also solves the problem of insufficient number of private rooms.

Insights:
After market research, we found that the public's image about Shunde cuisine is vague, and it is often confused with Cantonese cuisine. Cantonese dishes and restaurant designs are quite traditional, and there is no obvious difference between brands. Therefore, family customers or the elderly are the most important customer group. And more innovative, more refined Shunde cuisine can fill this gap.
The project is located in Fengshengli, Shanghai, which is a Shanghai-style cultural district and also a fashion destination for young hipsters from day to night.
The location of Fengshengli and the consumer group determine that this is a very innovative restaurant for fashionable people. Customers here would like view a tradional culture been presented in a modern way.
Inspiration: A visit to local folk museum of Shunde and inheritors of intangible cultural heritage, which helped to explore how to make modern works with traditional handicrafts.

We adopted images of traditional culture and intangible cultural heritage in a modern way, e.g., the traditional daliang fish lanterns, Shunde phoenix Crown, phoenix boat, bridal Sedan chair, Guan Gong Lion, Gambiered Canton Gauze to highlight Shunde culture.

Innovations on construction technology, dining experience and floor plan as well.
Project Duration: The project located in Fengshengli SH started in July 2021 and finished in December 2021.
Operation Flow: Stairs：The handrails are used as beams to support the overall weight. The yellow-stained stairs are magnificent and concise, like a dragon hovering up.

Bar of second floor: The traditional Shunde cuisine is changed to dining at the bar. The top of bar is based on a double-layer phoenix boat, which has the function of a wine rack. Going up, the corners of the eaves of the building are built with acrylic imitated glazed bricks, and the glass inlaid in the ceiling is reflected layer by layer, giving it a surreal touch.
