YuanSheng Restaurant

Project Description


Traditional Chinese shadow-play techniques and modern materials are used in the front hall space to interpret a scroll depicting Nanjing City.
In the corridor, nine private rooms were designed to look like the nine different types of exterior walls that were used during the Republic of China's time, preserving the elegance and zigzagging of Nanjing Yihe Mansion Villa. In addition to welcoming people inside, the abstract structure of the building completes the interior design.
A sense of inheritance of cultural elements from the same origin and familiarity is created in each private room through nine engravings from the Republic of China era.
