HipHop of Ice and Fire

Street food is not inferior to table delicacies. The happiness of enjoying pho can be met by chance in the street. After securing the commission, we can imagine a gourmet restaurant with a sharp attitude appearing in downtown Shanghai. More details about the location we check, more imagination about space have flashed. This restaurant along the street is close to the subway exit and has a small square with its atmosphere, high-density gathering of brand stores, and crowded with people. Although it belongs to a shopping mall, it still could be independent. Why not return part of the space to the street and energize more dynamic for social space. We open the redundant walls and use the open facade to blur the boundaries between inside and outside, to achieve landscape display and interaction. It can accommodate 58 people indoors, and the dining area outside can accommodate 16-28 people. Guests can relax more in the outside area and feel the fine weather and street atmosphere. The semi-outdoor window sill allows customers to enjoy the perspective angle. The dynamic line of the indoor return area ensures high circulation, gathers popularity inward, and exudes random freedom outward. This is our second store designed for FAT PHO. The owner fancies HipHop music, which coincides with the casual attitude we want. In the design of the internal space, we placed the seating area beside the double stove to create an open dining space. The chef can cook in two directions on two stoves, creating a fiery atmosphere in space. The bar is the visual center of the overall space. A DJ station is set up here, where guests can enjoy wine and barbecue. Enjoying pho during the day, drinking and barbecuing with music at night, the experience is like a collision of ice and fire. Our design, using different materials and colors, has strengthened a sense of contrast in the interior space, creating an atmosphere like the collision of ice and fire. Meanwhile, creating a comprehensive dining experience by adjusting the design details. The overall color of the restaurant is an exclusive coral color. In terms of texture, the cold metal and the hazy glass surface form a contrast, enriching the texture of the space. "Ice cubes" are hung on the ceiling, which are beautiful and express a sense of danger. Each piece needs to develop a mold and sample, which takes a long time to create an extraordinary effect. The natural materials with different shapes scattered in the space reveal a stronger Asian character and style. This fashionable and orderly street restaurant is filled with the smell of pho, breaking the rules with a vibrant image. It looks forward to allowing more people to enjoy delicious food as well as the interesting space on the street.
