Noodlology Restaurant / MARS Studio

September 28, 2022 Andreas Luco 0

Because the noodle restaurant is located in the most inside of Jidian Yuan, the client named it “inside” in Chinese. The project is close to the south gate of Beijing Jidian Yuan, surrounded by the old residential areas.  Compared with the strong commercial atmosphere on the north side, the “life vitality ” is the main theme spreading around: migrant workers on their way back and forth, students running after school, old man enjoying the cool in the shade… This new restaurant was incubated by a Chinese female chef from Michelin Restaurant. Noodlology, as noodle + (-ology), shows the chef’s study and consideration of noodle flavor as a discipline—to maintain the texture of Chinese noodle while integrating the excellent flavor of other countries.

Living at Av. Paulista means – at every sense – living on the highest point of one of the most important cities of Latin America. Within some great iconic landscapes of São Paulo, the busy avenue portrays a contemporary and globalized lifestyle, along both commercial and residential imponent buildings. Among them, the wide windows of Edifício Paulicéia portraits the daily life in such astonishing way. The perspective change of the Avenue from the ground floor to the high level of the apartment allows a unique sight experience, but this is far from being the strongest concept of this project.
