Peach blossom chiffon fabric sways gently on the ceiling, looking like a forest full of blooming flowers. In the restaurant dining area, we exploit hanging pink and white lanterns to symbolize the lights of the families and take advantage of the wooden window frames, ingeniously revealing the image of home. After integrating those design elements, we hope to bring people a cozy feeling of having meals at home.

We adopt the color scheme of accentuated peach blossom, bright yellow, and lake green to manifest the restaurant’s image of “new Hakka-style cuisine.” Then, utilize teak veneers and rattan elements to fashion reminiscential touches. We ingeniously plan smooth flows, gear functional hardware, and arrange a small area to create a brilliant layout with compound features of dining and shopping.

We adopt a peach blossom hue-one of the brand image tones, as the featured color. For instance, take advantage of hanging chiffon fabric on the ceiling of the entrance to result in a flowery scene of strolling under a blooming garden. The back painted glass panels on the facade of the dining area also apply the peach blossom color and add bright yellow and lake green tinges. The suspended red and white round lanterns artfully symbolize reunion, together with teak veneers and window frames, accomplishing an aesthetic and homely dining environment.

We plan two accesses for the restaurant, the main entrance is close to the reception counter, and the other is at the side of the gifts area, convenient for the customers to directly enter the shopping area. We mount colorful iron shelves on the entrance facade to attract the passerby’s attention and are handy for placing flyers.

We configure a takeaway area beside the reception counter to facilitate the delivery person to pick up meals. In addition, we set up a shopping area and equipped freezers to display crafted, delicious cakes and dry goods, letting people choose their favorite gifts leisurely. And the bottom rattan cabinet artfully adds a retro charm to this chic booth.

We encourage designers and architects to share their best projects with the rest of the world so as to inspire the next generation and gain global recognition.
