“Every time we look out through the window, we experience a performance of illumination and shadow manifested purely by natural
light”. Celia Chu's inspiration coming from the traditional Chinese window element. The specialty restaurant Grand Hyatt Dalian, at the pinnacle of the building, we have created a statement design feature, to complement the view of Dalian harbour: a lively dining room of
the rich woods, subtle leathers blending with the delicate artwork and sculptural bespoke staircase. In order to break down the soaring atrium, a decidedly residential scale has been introduced and thus smaller zones of
interest were created. Dalian’s own culture is also at play, an amalgamation of the past and the present can be seen in the articulation of contrasting
design elements including the eye catching coffee brown stainless steel panel in the space, reflecting the culture of the place. The suspended Chinese window screen patterns are layered throughout the space creating a fresh modern reinterpretation. The increase of depth and extrusion of the window pattern screen results in a three dimensional casing that enhances the overall visual complexity. Its reflective quality makes it capable of displaying a series of unpredictable expressions from
dawn till dusk. the sky and beach, a purple swatch is used to create a buoyant atmosphere in the dining area and an orange swatch is
also used to bring out the cozy sensation of laid back oriental interior.
