The Design
About Ecru Restoran
Ecru potiče od francuske reči Ecru, koja opisuje boju nebeljenoga platna. Restoran Ecru u Istočnom okrugu Tajpeja ima za cilj da pruži opušteno iskustvo obedovanja. Dizajn koristi hodnik na ulazu kako bi ostvario prelaz od gradske vreve ka spokojstvu, vodeći ka otvorenom prostoru sa centralnom otvorenom kuhinjom. Ovaj pristup integriše kuvanje u iskustvo obedovanja, angažujući goste zvucima i aromama.

- Production Technology
- In crafting a serene environment, we minimize artificial lighting and harness natural light through porch wall gaps and louvered curtains. Most light sources emanate from the ground, accentuating textures and enhancing the tranquil atmosphere. Stone elements combine marble with lightweight, eco-friendly biophilic PU stone for easy installation. Tables and tableware details showcase irregular shapes, embracing the organic concept.
- Design Challenge
- To create a calm and relaxed ambiance in the dining space, we've chosen a large area of beige paint with a mottled texture, giving a sense of tranquility and time settling. The texture resembles ceramic dishes' surface patterns, enhancing the visual appeal. The front of the open kitchen serves as the best viewing area, with recycled railway sleepers fixed without nails. The structures on both sides enhance stability and define the dining area in this open space.
- Research
- The concept of French cuisine sets the tone for our space. Rooted in selecting fresh, local ingredients based on region and season, French cooking emphasizes pure flavors through simple methods. It embodies the essence of Slow Food culture, where "slow" goes beyond savoring delicious meals. It's about taking time to genuinely appreciate the interrelation of food, land, and culture. This lifestyle prioritizes communication and interaction during meals.
- Inspiration
- French cuisine is all about fresh ingredients, simple cooking, and the chef's artistic presentation, reflecting an elegant and slow-paced lifestyle. Our brand is inspired by French dining culture, focusing on nature, simplicity, and organic elements. We use pure and tranquil materials, keeping things simple and allowing the true essence of the dishes to stand out.
- Project Duration
- This project was completed in September 2023 in Taipei, Taiwan, and officially opened in October 2023.
- Operation Flow
- Our goal is to create a relaxed and serene dining experience. The design incorporates a corridor at the entrance, initiating a transition in spatial perception from the city's hustle to tranquility. Following a path, the open area unfolds, with the focal point being the open kitchen at the bottom. This core area transforms the cooking process into part of the dining experience, with sounds of ingredient preparation and the aroma of dishes engaging diners from inside to out.
