This is an Asian restaurant, which breaks away from the typical asian design stereotypes that we are used to. There is a use of materials like mesh instead of natural elements like cane. The mesh has been used to create a form that seems to be there, but yet disappear as it is barely there. The soft pink glow of the overall design, creates an inviting atmosphere for the restaurant. What makes this project stand out, is that it is constructed within an unfinished church, the design is inspired by Roman inspirations, the entire experience is an abstraction of an experience in a church. For example, the copper wire mesh arches and the stain glass murals at the back of the bar, all point to the same. The aesthetic of the space is made to look slightly industrial, which makes it seem like it is a " work in progress " space. This makes customers feel as though they need to come back, to see the progress.
