Production Technology
Artificial stone, iron mesh, white teak, modeling chandelier, and architectural lighting. After a detailed discussion with the client, the designer selects ginger as the brand image color to decorate the lighting and cabinets. Besides, the color is matching with wood material, leather seats, and sofa to build a harmonious atmosphere.
Design Challenge
How to create an open kitchen, seating area with 91-seat, and a staff area that meets the client expectations while faced with the harsh construction management and dead corner of the original building are the main points of the designer's plan. By clearly sorting out the uses in each section, the designer arranges the seating area in a square pattern. In addition, the deformed areas are planned as staff lounge, service counter, storage room, etc., to achieve a harmonious configuration.
Project Duration
The project finished in December 2018 in Taiwan.
Operation Flow
The designer takes the traffic flow into account, places the open kitchen far away from the entrance while separating the pick-up area and the recycling area to ensure smooth flow and hygiene. After the coordination with the management of the building, the windows are lowered to meet the needs of sound insulation and fire protection, and also to wider the view. To eliminate the situation that most of the seats have dead corners due to the clustering of pipes in the original base, the designer uses the staff room, storage, cashier, and service area to achieve a smooth traffic flow.
Research
The designer strikes a balance between the strict regulations of the original building and the client requirements. Through the perfect planning of the traffic flow, the designer meets the demands of each section. Accurately evaluates the size of the open kitchen and sets its location far from the entrance to separate customers from the staff traffic flow. Separates the pick-up area and the recycling area to ensure smooth traffic flow and hygiene. Last, the deformed areas are changed a staff lounge, storage, cashier, and service area to create a complete dining space.
Inspiration
This project is a dining space in a new building, and it is the first store for the client to expand their branch brand. Therefore, in addition to achieving the basic functional requirements, the designer also makes use of color, lighting, and an open kitchen to create a space that reflects the core image of the brand. At the same time, this work will be reproduced and developed in a chain.
