Yue Rong Xuan Jun Yan

Yue Rong Xuan Jun Yan is a Cantonese restaurant interior located on the 58th floor of a tower in Hangzhou Raffles City, China. The space covers 1220 square meters on a single floor. The design uses the kapok flower, a symbol of Canton culture, and combines its color and shape with a progressive spatial sequence that runs from the entrance to the lobby. Curved wall decorations calm the dining areas, so guests and food remain the focus. Panoramic windows open the interior to the surrounding city view.

Baia

Baia came into existence in Shibuya the center of Tokyo metropolitan as a cave suddenly appeared in the city. It consists of 5 floors; a basement, 3 stories, and a rooftop terrace, and the design concept of the entire floor is a cave within the city. The designers believed only a minimal design could visualize the fascinating and exotic atmosphere of a cave, and kept it minimal using emerald green lighting and mortar which they think suited for this modern cave. The lighting plan of fascinating emerald green lights added glamor to the space and helped visualize the design concept.

Moonshot Cafe

This design is for the Japan Pavilion at the CES 2023, one of the largest technology conventions in the glove. It is inspired from simplicity and minimization, the fundamental concept of Zen, which Japan has always been with since ancient times. It’s rare to have a cafe, rather than having a normal exhibition booth in a convention. The space tries to become an oasis where the interaction begins. It also focuses on transparency and spaciousness since the ceiling of the venue is low. In addition, it has lots of green, showing the eco-friendship, reducing waste, and creating a cozy atmosphere.
