Located in Block E1 of OCT Tower in Shenzhen, the project is a modern Chaozhou cuisine restaurant that carries the mission of carrying forward Chaozhou cuisine.

Innovation:
The project has eight private dining rooms, a dining hall, a whiskey bar and a wine room, and provides innovated Chaozhou cuisine of high aesthetic value in a poetic architectural space. The team mixed metal grains with grey decorative paint, which unexpectedly produced a concrete-like plain texture and also a glorious visual effect. The wooden floor contrasts with the metal materials in a way that achieves the unity of softness and hardness. Cold and warm colors are alternated not only to induce the harmony of coolness and warmness, but also to integrate more elements such as temptation, humor and mystery into the space. 

Creativity:
The restaurant's dining hall is mainly finished with grey textured paint and wooden flooring, with an emphasis on the connection with outdoor greenery. Meanwhile, the metal ceiling structures highlight the sense of fashion and business and also create a sense of peaceful coziness. Passages, where people stay for a short time, are easily neglected in design. However, the designers think that such transitional space without a strong functionality is the best choice for incorporating sentimental design expressions. For this project, the designers created a winding, tranquil circulation through the passage, which creates an Oriental aesthetic in an unrestrained, empty and free status.

Functionality:
As the golden automated door slowly opens, guests will find a multifunctional service zone that combines both a reception desk and a bar counter. A lighted glass liquor cabinet looks delicate and classy. In front of the reception desk stand a row of wooden boxes that effectively highlight private dining experience in the dining hall and also generates a strong sense of architectural order. Above the bar counter, modern geometric structures are placed next to woven wooden handcrafts in a way that create a spatial ambience that tempts people to explore. 

The design of private dining rooms highlights a conversation with the surrounding environment. Its simple architectural language emphasizes comfort and focus as well as the interaction between people. The green and red paper decorations deliver the ancient color aesthetics that can be dated back to the Han dynasty of China. Presented in an irregular form, the space looks like a natural compound or an extension of the building. It seems to be an unexpected yet intentional design that creates a sense of certainty out of the blue.

Sustainability:
Large areas of interior walls and ceiling are finished with handmade paint, which realized the expected effect, reduced the cost and is convenient for maintenance. The high-quality distinctive spatial experience has enhanced the brand's identity and influence, and has helped bring more customers.
