與其深愛，不如淺喜

設計一家面積近1500平米

的火鍋店，或許更應是

營造一場川西聚落的逍遙派頭

The designing of 

a hotpot restaurant 

occupying a surface area of 

nearly 1,500 square metres,

perhaps is more about 

creating a carefree space 

for gatherings 

in western Sichuan.

------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------

The rising and falling 

surface mixed with stairs 

and gentles slopes 

seems rather apt. We 

always believe 

the presence of yards 

is the true spiritual 

measurement of a venue 

in the hearts of people 

from Sichuan.

壩子設定在入口朝西的位置

落日的陽光正對照射進來

融入了竹林與野趣景觀的四周

使得這裏不再有室內的感覺

放松與喧鬧的情景

將在這裏被喚發

With a yard located 

to the west of the entrance, 

when the setting sun shines 

through and becomes 

one with the bamboo forest 

and the rustic scenery, 

the entire space is opened up 

and evokes both relaxation 

and playfulness. 

------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------

The sunken area 

is the focal point of 

the entire space. The 

red woven-bamboo screen 

that resembles a red lantern. 

Half conceals and encircles 

the cheerful crowd 

and the boiling hotpot 

in this irregular space.

------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------

We have also applied 

this layout to the design 

of different booths, for which 

perhaps the name courtyards 

would have been more 

appropriate. Instead of 

being completely closed off 

with no view, the

versatile scenery brings, 

the much-needed connection.

------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------

As diners sit 

amid the bamboo forest 

and surrounded 

by the traditional,

hand-woven bamboo screen, 

they are able to savour 

the hotpot in the 

------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------

On both sides of 

the long corridor, 

the ever-so-familiar grey 

bricks and woven bamboo separate 

different dining areas. 

The balanced application of 

privacy and openness 

emphasises light and shadow 

and textures instead of 

contrived design expressions.

------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------

An elegant yet 

lively design that playfully 

conveyscommonality 

and mortal life 

is the key of 

our design.

------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------

Gentle affection 

instead of passionate love 

is a simple yet profound life attitude; 

it is also a grey area 

between obsession 

and concession as we 

mulled over the design. 

What we have learnt from 

our client during 

this design project and the 

considerable refinement 

involved have greatly 

benefitted us.
