Category: Food & Beverage (Gold Winner) Project Title: "Birch Forest" Country of Project: China Designer: Kris Lin from Kris Lin International Design
The project is located in Xi`an, close to Jinghe Wetland Park in the south. The large birch forest gives the project unique landscape resources. This mixed multi-function space is divided into two floors, the first floor is a cafe, and the second floor is a restaurant and art gallery space. We wanted to create a mood, a restaurant in the forest. It allows people to take a break from their daily lives and enter a relaxed environment.
The whole design takes " Dear drink at trackless stream" in the poem "A Trip to Lushan Mountain" by Mei Yaochen as the design conception, it is a poet of the Northern Song Dynasty. Integrated forest, deer, and water those three elements into the design.
The biggest challenge of this project is the construction of a continuous curved surface of the ceiling grid. Through the three-dimensional design in the early stage, we selected the aluminum plate for machine cutting in the factory, and finally, went to the construction site for installation and splicing. From the perspective of environmental protection, there are no abandoned building materials and construction wastes at the construction site.
