- Production Technology
- Materials: Herringbone-pattern floor, Fireproof membrane, Granitic plaster
- Design Challenge
- In the northern regions with a comparatively low climate, it is necessary to take into consideration indoor photosynthesis to sustain plant growth. The designers managed to build a cloud ceiling that simulates natural light, and comprehensively distributed the location of light in a way that plants in different directions can fully receive light energy. At the intersection of the cloud ceiling and the wall, the designers applied a reflecting mirror to showcase a fantastic visual feast of the "big tree" hidden in the cloud, and to broaden the edges of the "cloud sea".
- Research
- In the northern city with frozen winters, The Tree Restaurant serves as a symbol that forecasts the arrival of warm spring and triggers people's fondness of nature. The Tree Restaurant is an excellent place to talk under the"cloud" and enjoy delicious food in the "flower bed". It uses lights to restore the original color of items and extraordinary scenes show what people refer.
- Inspiration
- Human beings belong to nature and have an intimate connection with nature in their blood. The exceptional experience of imaging that you are enjoying a feast in a natural environment would return your mind to nature. The ceiling is decorated as a "cloud sea" by using pure white glass fibers, being undulating but soft and magnificent. Dozens of plants are grown in the space to guide varying function divisions naturally and extend the walking circulation accordingly.
- Project Duration
- The project started in November 2019 and finished in January 2020 in Shenyang, China.
- Operation Flow
- Located in the shopping mall of a northern city, the Tree Restaurant is primarily designed for female customers at first. However, its natural posture and bright light attract the attention of every customer, which makes it quickly a topic space for young people to share and chat, and finally turns to be a popular restaurant on social media applications. It has awakened people's love for nature and brought considerable customer flow to the shopping mall.
