Beile Hotpot Dining Space

Beile Hotpot Dining Space is an exemplary interior design project that masterfully integrates traditional Chinese architectural elements with contemporary dining functionality, spanning 260 square meters in Fuzhou City, Fujian Province. This sophisticated dining establishment, which earned the Silver A' Design Award in Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design category, showcases an innovative interpretation of Qing Dynasty architectural principles through its meticulous attention to traditional Chinese spatial organization and decorative elements. The design's distinctive features include symmetrically distributed square patterns characteristic of classical Chinese architecture, complemented by an elaborate roof structure that employs traditional tenon-and-mortise joinery techniques. The space's visual narrative is enriched through custom-designed lighting fixtures that emulate traditional Chinese building eaves, while translucent panels featuring hand-painted landscapes inspired by Qing Dynasty garden aesthetics create an immersive cultural experience. The color palette deliberately incorporates historically significant hues including cinnabar, phthalein blue, and red gold, establishing a sophisticated atmosphere that pays homage to imperial Chinese design traditions. The interior's architectural elements, including doors, windows, and wall treatments, directly reference the Forbidden City's design vocabulary, while the custom-designed roof cornices and hanging structural elements demonstrate exceptional attention to authentic historical detail. This award-winning design successfully creates a contemporary dining environment that honors Chinese cultural heritage while meeting modern functional requirements, exemplifying how traditional architectural principles can be thoughtfully adapted for contemporary commercial spaces.
