A spicy barbecue restaurant design, dominated by a “dark and luxurious” aesthetic, with red as the primary colour to represent the bold, spicy flavors of Chengdu-style barbecue. Red woven elements are paired with dark ceilings and walls, creating a layered atmosphere that feels both raw and refined. This design language is applied not only throughout the dining area but also extended to the toilet, where touches of red reinforce the overall theme and spatial consistency. The layout is spacious and lively, intentionally capturing the vibrant street energy of Chengdu, allowing customers to feel relaxed and immersed in the experience.
Above the entrance bar counter, solid wood carvings display the names of traditional “Jianghu” dishes, serving as a visual focal point while strengthening the brand’s identity and its emphasis on authentic Sichuan flavors. The semi-open barbecue area is accented with gray stone tiles, creating a textured wall feature allowing guests to immediately see the grilling process upon entering. This direct visual connection enhances the sensory experience through sight and aroma, increasing the sense of interaction and atmosphere. Private dining rooms are located at the rear, offering a more intimate setting to accommodate group gatherings and banquets.
