DESIGN NAME: Sounds Good Music Restaurant
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Music Restaurant
INSPIRATION: The owners and designers expect customers, when among the rhyme of music and the shadow of wine glasses, to be involved in the connecting environment while to get lost in the beauty of connection.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Yu Quan’s restaurant is named “Sounds Good”. It seems like the lyrics of a song, leading people to endless aftertastes; it also masterly and appropriately interprets the taste of new music restaurant: “Sounds Good”. The best flavor of life is clear happiness in hearts; the best food of life comes from Yu Quan’s restaurant.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The music brought by the singers makes the place different from ordinary restaurants.
Stepping into nights, “Sounds Good” turns into a bar. Bartenders there help the space distinguish itself further from the others.
The connection constructed among singers, bartenders and enjoyers includes seeing and being seen, caring and being cared, warming others while being warmed by others.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: Yu Quan’s music restaurant locates in Joy City, Shanghai and it finished in Feb. 2018.
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Interior Space and Exhibition Design

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: “Lines” and “lights”, “wavebands” and “warmth” are all the materialized language of connection. They construct, compile, and connect all sorts of possible and impossible emotions that once existed or did not exist. Connection is the objective as well as the method.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Centering on the theme of music, the designers regard the four international top bands as the inspiration of creation, and designed accordingly neon and mirror devices of different themes for the private rooms. They are Kanye West the American rapper, Daft Punk the world’s top DJ group and electric music producer from France, The Beatles the national treasure-level rock, and roll band and LinkinPark, the American super popular rock band.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Connection is the core of the project, as well as the design method. On the floor plan, the stage is primarily designed according to the relation between signers and enjoyers, the “seeing and being seen” relationship. And the “caring and being cared” would be achieved at the bar where bartenders stand. Locations for the kitchen, private rooms, booths, sittings…would be decided then.
CHALLENGE: The huge radial ceiling lights express again the idea of connection. The external curtain wall made up of glass is crystal clear with the pad pasting on it the image of music sound bars containing names of singers. Comers would recognise immediately the music restaurant from afar. We selected carefully 110 famous musicians and bands’ works all around the world including various music types, musicians of all ages, from the globally well-known star Michael Jackson to the godfather of RAP Dr. Dre, from the representative of pop music Yu Quan and Jay Chow to the rock bands Guns N’ Roses and Queen. Each name is full of intensive affection and strong cultural penetration.
