Dragon Restaurant

Zhenhua Luo Restaurant Interior Sunday, 23 June 2024

Dragon

Dragon is a restaurant interior located inside a financial technology office building in Beijing. The design covers 2500 square meters and seeks a calm atmosphere based on natural elements. A main challenge was that 80 percent of the dining space lies underground and receives no natural light. Nature is therefore simulated. A waterfall and a pool are formed in cast concrete with digital technology, and copper ducklings appear to swim on the surface. Private dining rooms recall the shape of a valley, with plants and seasons, and simulated light supports these enclosed areas.

Hidden Breeze

Hidden Breeze is the interior design of a private villa of 530 square meters in Wenzhou. The design follows a minimal approach and uses terrazzo, dyed wood veneer, slate and art paint. The entrance porch keeps its original inner width, and hidden storage cabinets are added on both sides. Black and white artworks and a bronze sculpture balance function and beauty. The staircase moves from straight lines to curved lines. An octagonal window is extended into a full surface, so daylight reaches every corner of the interior. The project was completed in December 2019.
