The Villa Moon Restaurant project was born in a key historical and cultural block in Hangzhou. It is an architectural renovation project located in the historical block along the Dadou Road and Yunhe (canal), adjacent to Xiangji Temple, a key cultural relic protection scenic spot in Zhejiang Province.

The concept of Villa Moon is inspired by the scene described in "Drinking under the Moon" by Li Bai, a poet of the Tang Dynasty: "You must drink fine wine, and ride the moon to get drunk on the high platform".

The urban context around the restaurant, the constant alternation of "traditional" and "modern" architectural languages also happens to place the project at a fairly central location. Here, the change of architectural style is radial, and the restaurant is just at the boundary of urban style transformation, therefore, the project building adopts a "double-sided" organizational design. The west side overlooks the inner lanes of the historic district: the traditional language of white brick walls and black terracotta tiles are preserved; the east side faces Lishui Road, supplemented by modern architectural language. The project and urban culture The fusion of project and surrounding therefore echoes the starting point of the concept itself.

The project is defined not only as a restaurant, but also as a link between two distinct urban environments: modern and traditional.Of course, we cannot forget the function of the building itself: a dining place that needs to balance privacy and comfort.

How can we integrate and express the above elements? The answer is to seek a solution in the control of the transparency of the facade, which uses a wooden sunshade system designed according to the typical proportions of Zhejiang historical buildings. This effect ensures that the facade is shielded from direct sunlight and genitally show the interior artificial light during night.

The restaurant project is mainly divided into two floors. The west area of the first floor is equipped with kitchen and bar space. Going up to the second floor, the special hollow design of the east facade creates an interior landscape balcony, through the large floor-to-ceiling glass, overlooking the city and savoring life.On the west side of the second floor, a private box is set up, with an exposed double-slope roof looking up, and a wall that tells the various styles of wine when viewed from the top, reflecting the love and praise of the elegant restaurant owner for wine.

The selection of interior decoration and soft decoration materials is based on the concept of "nature", but not too much "artificial" decoration, materials without complicated processing processes are selected, such as: concrete, stainless steel, micro cement, polished concrete, wood and reeded glass.
