The Design

About Howard's Gourmet Restaurang

Howards designkoncept för gourmet kombinerar klassiska kinesiska arkitektoniska element med moderna material och designkoncept för en ny visuell lutning. Restaurangens utformning består av privata matsalar och är baserad på det gamla Siheyuan-konceptet. Med massiv användning av guld i moderna former skapar det en modern palatial storhet. Forntida utsikt över bildandet av himmel och jord, de 5 elementen i kosmologin är viktiga former och former som används för att dekorera det inre av matsalen. Dekorerad med rika färger, blommigt och geometriskt tyg, är miljön berikad med munter vibe.

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.
