The barbecue restaurant takes "Desert Aurora" as its core design theme. Through an ultimate scenario-based experience, it transforms barbecue dining into an adventure of nature and surrealism, allowing customers to immerse themselves in the romantic illusion of the desert and aurora while savoring gustatory pleasures.
In shaping the spatial foundation, the walls and ceiling uniformly adopt dark-colored artistic paint. This dark tone, akin to the desert under the night sky, lays a highly dynamic backdrop for the subsequent changes in light and shadow. The delicate texture of the artistic paint itself resembles the natural grain of desert sand dunes polished by wind and sand over time, exuding a primitive and rugged texture inadvertently. This allows diners to feel the unique profundity and tranquility of the desert the moment they step into the restaurant.
Sculptures in focal spaces serve as the visual anchors of the space and concrete manifestations of the "Desert Aurora" theme. Created through abstract techniques, these works capture the silhouettes of the desert and the forms of the aurora. For materials, they blend metal with translucent resin: the cool, stark texture of metal embodies the desert's resilience, while the translucent resin, when illuminated, exudes a hazy sheen evocative of the aurora.
The sculptures' positioning is thoughtfully orchestrated—they neither disrupt the dining flow nor prevent diners in all areas from experiencing their unique artistic allure. Acting as silent witnesses to the dialogue between the desert and the aurora, they imbue the space with a rich, artistic atmosphere.
Through the integration of dark artistic paint as the base, dynamic shifts of the colorful lighting, sculptures in focal spaces, and stage DJ performances, the overall design weaves the "Desert Aurora" theme into every corner of the space. It creates a unique dining venue that combines cuisine, art, and entertainment in one—allowing diners to satisfy their taste buds while indulging in a full-bodied sensory experience that engages their entire being.
