Undisclosed

The towering city gate tower, the majestic Forbidden City, the golden glazed tiles, the warmth and coldness of the people carried by the courtyard, the time-honored brand of Dashilar, and the exquisiteness of old Beijing's "inside and face"... These are all components of Beijing-style cultural elements.

Urban culture is the epitome of history and reality, and also highlights the value concept and spiritual pursuit, and now the presentation of the "Beijing flavor" business card not only enriches the connotation of persimmon relationship, but also stimulates a certain sense of spatial belonging.

Beijing-style fireworks

Shi Heyuan is a Michelin-starred Chinese restaurant with the beauty of Beijing, the freshness of Yongwei and the spicy taste of Sichuan, with a highly creative, innovative and aesthetic food understanding, interpreting the taste skills accumulated in Beijing for a hundred years, presenting a superb new Beijing banquet.

Located in the Jing An Kerry Centre in Shanghai, the designer has skillfully integrated the form of persimmon flowers into this aesthetic restaurant space, making the whole space full of diversity and pyrotechnics. Whether it is the banquet area, the water bar area, the booth area or the private room, it is filled with the unique charm of persimmon flowers, so that people can enjoy the food while also feeling the perfect combination of nature and art.

The reception in the front hall introduces the structural form of persimmon, which perfectly echoes the brand name. The background of the wall is cleverly integrated with the elements of the Forbidden City in Beijing culture and the characteristics of the central axis of Beijing, with the vermilion gate as the center, and the symmetrical columns and persimmon flower screens on both sides as decorations, which not only embodies the traditional Chinese aesthetics, but also gives new vitality to the space field.

Due to the original architectural pattern in the space, the designer conforms to the original architectural curve in planning, enriches the interest of the walking line, and allows the space to transition naturally.

The glass bricks with orange light, the warm red bricks, and the leather screen combining persimmon flowers and metal plates are placed in the space in an orderly manner and overlapped.

Multi-dimensional experience

The space of this case displays artworks of different forms and styles, including persimmon art vases that complement the brand logo, and various forms of art wall paintings, so that they are mixed with modern atmosphere in the oriental context, forming a cultural field of elegance and common appreciation.

Continuing the symmetry of Beijing culture, the comfortable semi-enclosed booth area, and the quiet lighting atmosphere allow diners to have a drink in it, or they can get drunk wantonly, everything looks so comfortable.

Changing the scene, several translucent glass screens form a symmetry with the calm wood tones, and the mutual echoes between the booth lights, giving the site a sense of scale and a warm atmosphere.

Elemental interpretation

The space bar area uses the glass bricks of orange lighting and the dim lighting under the grille to weaken the overall sense of spatial separation, and at the same time reveal a sense of mystery and stimulate the curiosity of diners to explore.

At the top of the banquet hall, another world is hidden, and the starlight in the form of persimmon flowers is presented, which is slightly unreal and hazy and romantic, and walking in it seems to be isolated from the steel and concrete in real life, realizing a unique dining experience.

The rhythmic spatial circulation lines are arranged in series, and they are connected into areas that connect with each other. The persimmon-shaped top of the private room and the marble chandelier complement each other, injecting a different artistic atmosphere into the space. The artwork and red zigzag chairs in the interior give the room a unique aesthetic of personality and make it a mysterious little world.

Field regression

The construction of the return field shows the creativity and functionality of the space function from the collision and fusion of colors, Beijing flavor elements and materials.

The water bar area, hall, booth area, banquet hall, and private room all integrate the color and symmetry of brand elements persimmon flowers and Beijing flavors, and just right to build every detail of persimmon and warm the entire space field.
