The overall design of the restaurant follows the architectural characteristics of Minnan, revolves around the imagination of "Minnan elements", and the selection of materials is mainly represented by the shape of Haitang Cape and special customized graphics. Combining modern design techniques, it highlights the delicacy and modern innovation of Minnan elements; In terms of lighting, the form of Minnan wooden lattice window decorations is adopted, allowing light to pass through the window decorations and sprinkle into the restaurant, forming a blend of light and shadow beauty; The ceiling adopts the arched symbol of Minnan ancient architecture and is cast with orange metal paint. The background wall is made of green peach blossom core wall panels, forming a strong visual impact with the orange metal paint on the ceiling.
The reeds in the lobby were a highlight of the project. After the designers arrived at the project site, they went through repeated debugging and staggered height matching to perfectly present the natural feeling of the reeds moving with the wind, and even personally held a wheel saw to cut the metal, before finally delivering this satisfactory answer. The whole collaborative process was not only the vision on paper at the beginning of the design, but personally experienced the hardship and fun of the project implementation process and understood the meaning of a project on the ground.
