Nanxiang Bailian
Restaurant for Above Space
The restaurant has more than 200 seats and a large scale with an area of less than 700 square meters. On the premise of ensuring the food-to-kitchen ratio, the designer allocates more than 1.3 square meters of spacious space for each seat by making full use of space. After understanding the table average efficiency and turnover rate in detail, the designer finally determined the respective proportions of the box and the deck, and planned the deck area as a square table and the box area as a round table, achieving the best balance of space and efficiency.

Production Technology
The painted wooden screen, with magnificent artistic beauty, not only breaks the blemishes of cold terrazzo color temperature, creates a sense of warmth at home, but also enriches the color ratio of the entire color scheme, thus achieving a visual effect with rich layers and rhythm.
Design Challenge
After multiple changes of the number and location of partitions, the permeability of space was ensured, and privacy of dining was guaranteed as the same time. Even when all the seats are occupied, the dining people still could have a good meal. Good liquidity, clear movement lines, responsible duties are all make good to the restaurant. It is not crowded and messy. From the design point of view, the restaurant's high-end positioning and actual use requirements are once again pinched.
Project Duration
The project started in July 2020 in Fuzhou and finished in November 2020 in Fuzhou.
Operation Flow
The indoor lighting adopts the form of matching multiple groups of point light sources, which not only gives the space an excellent light and shadow texture, and makes the facade richer and more dimensional, but also guarantees the needs of each table.
Research
The vertical part of the art roof is made into squares, which can not only be used for artistic display, but also use a fork to lift the glass to form the style of ancient window support.There's no distinct differences between Chinese and Western, as is between tradition and modern. Every detail can be seen here and there, completing the circulation and change of history in time and space.
Inspiration
In this case, the designer took high priority of the reproduction and reflection of the historical traditional Cantonese with modern architectural style when designed the restaurant. After careful consideration, designer first came up with terrazzo, a kind of completely modern building material with super luster and texture as those traditional stones.
