DESIGN NAME: The Beijing Parade
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Restaurant
INSPIRATION: The designers paid homage to ancient Chinese by designing living scenes with a human touch to reproduce the world of the Tang people and create a Belt and Road-themed restaurant that blends feasting styles.
The space is featured by concise and refined style, but reveals an ingeniously subtle clue and metaphor of those brilliant achievements of the Silk Road, which is a reinterpretation of the historical nodes of the great international exchanges.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Located in the headquarters of Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), the Belt and Road Initiative Themed Restaurant of The Beijing Parade project presents a flourishing Tang Dynasty landscape with majestic, grand, vigorous and romantic elements in a highly abstract way.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The designers poured their heart in every inch of views.
The corridor is embellished with red woven warp and weft.
The pagoda lights up the end of the road, connecting space and time.
It reddens perfectly the dream-like dark night.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in July 2020 and finished in September 2021 in Beijing.
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Interior Space and Exhibition Design

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: At the antehall, the designer elaborately showcases the unparalleled prosperity and splendor of the Tang Dynasty in its heyday, with axe-split stone and old copper logo, red shelves, original stone tea table, red wine racks, large floral decorations.
On precipitous rock cliff installations are twisted, dry trunks and branches. On these trees, mosses climb quietly and sparse flowers blossom in the warm air.
Flourishing views across rolling peaks extend freely like a long scroll of painting.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Project Area: 1800 Square Meters
TAGS: Tang-style lamps and furnishings, Concise and refined style, Road-themed restaurant, Resplendent, Harmonious
RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Such a resplendent and harmonious sight incisively and vividly presents the grandness of the glorious age of Tang Dynasty.
The designers paid homage to ancient Chinese by designing living scenes with a human touch to reproduce the world of the Tang people and create a Belt and Road-themed restaurant that blends feasting styles.
CHALLENGE: Spatial design often has its flaws due to the commercial nature. This project is dominated by the private rooms and corridors, with no lobby. In such cases, designers would go beyond time and space to address such flaws.
