The site is shaped in a narrow triangle space right beside Calligraphy Greenway, and the owner is planning on starting a Malaysian-style restaurant named Layang Layang. The designer used extensive ornaments made from rattan and wood and stated the tone of the interiors to be natural. The exterior of the third floor, where the kitchen is located has become a weave rug, allowing ventilation and lighting. By creating the semi-outdoor space of the restaurant can break barriers among the restaurant, the city, and people who are in living near this area.
Jimmy Yung is an architectural and interior designer dedicated to exploring how human beings find their sense of home. Cities have been expanding for centuries, and the population has increased dramatically. With the rapid advancement of internet services and the ongoing threats of infectious diseases, the concept of dwelling must evolve. Traditional functions once defined by specific activities such as offices, schools, libraries, playgrounds, sports fields, and restaurants are becoming increasingly interconnected like a cloud and condensed into a compact, miniaturized world. As a result, the residence must respond to the desires of its inhabitants, functioning like a treasure box.
