Pu Tang Restaurant

This interior space presents a sophisticated restaurant dining room where warm natural wood dominates the visual experience. Scanning from ceiling to floor, the overhead plane features an extraordinary grid of rectangular coffers, each filled with closely spaced horizontal wooden slats through which soft golden light glows, creating a luminous canopy effect reminiscent of sunlight filtering through forest branches. The ceiling structure is supported by substantial dark wooden beams that divide the space into distinct geometric sections. Moving to the walls, vertical slatted screens of similar warm timber construction wrap the perimeter, with rhythmic parallel lines creating a sense of sheltered enclosure while allowing glimpses of additional dining areas beyond. To the left, built-in display shelving with recessed lighting showcases delicate ceramic pieces including a blue and white traditional vase. The middle ground centers on a large circular dining table with a lazy susan mechanism at its heart, surrounded by ten elegantly proportioned chairs featuring curved wooden backs and cream-colored leather upholstery that feels soft and inviting. The table is set for formal dining with white plates, clear glassware, and a tall arrangement of white orchids rising gracefully at center. The floor beneath presents a dramatic contrast in cool charcoal-toned polished stone, smooth and reflective underfoot. In the immediate foreground, a marble surface with soft gray veining extends into view. The overall atmosphere suggests quiet warmth, like being enveloped in amber light, with the implied hush of an intimate gathering space.

By designing a visual corridor, the design team introduces nature views into the site.Ecological stones and waters as well as moss and fern are planted to presenting a natural landscape. The central floor slab of the building was removed during renovations in order to divide the original building scale, create an inner courtyard for plant growth, and introduce sunlight that increased the lighting of each room.
