HOSPITALITY :: This new restaurant in Sichuan, Chi

HOSPITALITY :: This new restaurant in Sichuan, China has taken form and function to another level of originality.

CHUAN HSI PA TZU, designed by Hummingbird Design Consultants Design (HDC Design), has created a unique hospitality venue that provides diners with a contemporary environment in which to celebrate the delicious heritage of hot pot cuisine.

This project re-defines the hot pot experience with a truly outstanding aesthetic, sharpened by the fluid slanted roof which was retained from the original structure and helped inform the new design. The application of bamboo has been re-interpreted into modern awnings and screens but also reflects the materiality of Sichuan to present old as new.
