Chongqing Tiandi Shark Restaurant

Inspired by Antoni Tapies, our respect for materials has turned into the springboard nurturing imagination in the design of the Shark Restaurant. Although whatever they really are like, base materials shall be decorated with surface materials, as such a humble positioning of base materials has become the starting point of the design rules and the industry consensus. However, we still decide to respect the original appearance of the base materials and release their expressive forces and, from art to reality, practically integrate the materials and the space, to create a purer and environmentally friendly space. Therefore, environmentally friendly putty and flame retardant plywood, two base materials, are chosen to shape the whole space.

The full adoption of the "base materials" will create barbaric primitive beauty for the space. In view of the disadvantage of insufficient lighting in the project, we incorporate the design concept of "cave" into the space. We remove the only French window for lighting to make a small rose garden, blurring the inner and outer boundary of the "cave", and letting the sunlight and breeze bathe the hall through the garden and the tables by the window.
