RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The partition wall between the corridor and the corridor adopts the traditional Chinese wooden door, which not only shows the meticulous window grille carvings, but also can use the space flexibly according to the needs of the restaurant.
CHALLENGE: The exterior of the building retains the structure of the original building, combined with Chinese architectural features, making visitors experience as if they are instantly in the misty and rainy Jiangnan thousands of miles away. The dining area is set up with a number of large-scale murals depicting the beauty of tradition, through which the original appearance of the south is sealed.
