The Design

About Dabpa-Shatin Restauranginredning

Dabpa-Shatin är en restauranginredning belägen på markplan i ett köpcentrum i Hongkong. Planlösningen följer en cellik form med 360 graders cirkulation, så att personalen enkelt kan nå varje bord från köket. Matsalen mäter 2233 kvadratfot. Varje bänksoffa är placerad intill ett stort fönsterparti med en krukväxtlandskapsscen, vilket ger gästerna avskildhet och en personlig utsikt. Mosaikplattor av mossa är inlagda i ytorna. Designen länkar samman inom- och utomhusmiljö och upplevs snarare som en trädgård än en butik.
