DESIGN NAME: Dragon
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Restaurant
INSPIRATION: Nature is simulated: one by casting a "waterfall" and "pool" via digital tech. Some copper ducklings even "swim" on this cast installation. Because of the long cold winters, outdoor-waterscapes are not suitable in Beijing, but people love water features. Another simulation is to imitate the shape of a valley and various plants and different seasons in the private dining rooms which are without windows and natural light.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Dragon Restaurant is located in the Financial Tech office building. A relaxing restaurant atmosphere with natural elements is sought. One of challenges is that 80% of the dining space is located underground and therefore there is no natural light. There is a balance between Financial Tech and nature.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Even though it is underground, people like its environment and feel good because of the simulation of light and the nature.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: 2019-2020, Beijing
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Interior Space and Exhibition Design
