junzi at Columbia
New York, NY, United States
Junzi is a new-generation Chinese restaurant with a focus on translating Northern Chinese culinary traditions in the context of contemporary culture and everyday life. Located at 113th Street and Broadway, the junzi at Columbia is the second of its series. The main challenge of the design is to accommodate three distinctively different service modules at junzi: the day-time menu of bings and noodle bowls from 11am to 10pm, the night-time menu with street style small bites and cocktails between 10:30pm and 1:30am, and a monthly 60-seats-only, 5-course dinner series curated by Chef Lucas Sin in collaboration with junzi's friends in the arts. The dining environment and graphic design must also reflect seasonality, which is evident throughout the menu.
Using a material palette composed of birch wood, brass, and painted metal, the architects and interior designers took an abandoned15-year-old diner and, with a flexible modular system, transformed the interior into a bright and uplifting dining space. The custom-made dining tables, upholstered banquette seatings, the wall displays, even the custom lighting fixtures, all play off this modularity. The architects commissioned a young furniture designer to design the dining stools with traditional Chinese dovetail joint details, and the mural above the counter is a result of close collaboration between a local artist and the junzi design team. The same team is building a 3rd junzi at the corner of Bleecker and Sullivan, scheduled to open in May 2018; a Midtown junzi is scheduled to open in the fall on 41st Street right next to Bryant Park.
