The design of Shanya Restaurant is based on the concept of "daily ritual," combining "natural elements" with "industrial aesthetics." Through the use of green plants and handcrafted walls with wood textures, a modern and vibrant "forest-style" dining space comes into being.

The signboard and warm white color scheme of the facade walls evoke pleasant associations with cream sauces, while the lush green plants surround the outdoor seating area like a thicket of shrubs. Both jointly form an expressive representation of the concepts of " Western food" and "Shanya."

Old wooden planks sourced by the designer are used on the side of the bar, whose signs of wear are preserved, with vintage colors arranged randomly. Galvanized sheets with mottled patterns and corrugated structures reflect a flowing color and luster through diffuse reflection.
From corrugated galvanized sheets to colorful old wooden planks, from rough walls to recycled iron cabinets, the collision of diverse materials demonstrates the compatibility and fun of a light retro style, at the same time the concept of low-cost, sustainable design is also embodied. The addition of green plants softens the industrial feel, making the space more balanced.

The layout of the restaurant's interior is clear and concise. The open kitchen and water bar are distributed along the side of the space in an L-shape, with two operation counters that are functionally independent yet visually coherent. They form a unique and memorable interior facade. The spacing of the tables and chairs is carefully designed to be suitable for both solitary reading and group interactions. The arrangement of plants serves to divide the space, making the overall area open yet private. The laid-back eclectic style creates a friendly atmosphere, and the details make the space more worth exploring.

Next to the sliding door at the entrance of the restaurant, an old wooden door from an old building serves as a wall decoration. The contrast between new and old, movement and stillness, use and viewing, creates an interesting dialogue. The use of a spatula as a door handle and the casual words on the door make the moments of entering and leaving the store much funnier, which provides a small surprise for customers at the beginning and end of their experience.

Through the folding window system of the building's exterior facade, the spatial form can be flexibly transformed.Open windows eliminate the boundary between the indoor and the outdoor ,where green plant elements interweave with each other, organically integrating the restaurant, outdoor seating, and the environment; when closed, they still maintain a sense of openness and coherence in visual perception, bringing a forest into the interior and lighting up a relaxed and healing forest-style space for the community.
