Ramen In The Video Game World / 07BEACH

June 14, 2022 Hana Abdel 0

At the beginning of the project, the client told us the name of the Ramen shop, “Kaishin No Ichigeki” and we were free to design the rest. “Kaishin No Ichigeki” is a signature phrase from a famous old RPG that brings to mind nostalgic video games for everyone. The design was inspired by those early video games which are drawn with dots, low-resolution, and uniquely familiar. While taking inspiration from games, not to be too a childish game atmosphere, designed abstractly to some extent.

Baan Nhuer Nham Restaurant / Looklen Architects

Loftily poised just by the Chao Praya River, “Baan Nhuer Nham” or the “House Above Water” is a cozy and intimate second-generation restaurant. Though it now sits on a rectangular plot of land that stretches from the road to the edge of the riverside, it once was a small, almost 60-year-old two-story building. According to the owner, the decision to expand the property was made so it could accommodate an ever-growing influx of customers, whilst also going for being redesigned and decorated to attract even wider audiences to come. Built upon an old dam amid mature trees and persevering wild greenery, the designer of this expansion felt the property would best be highlighted by careful grooming and reinvigoration of the plot’s existing building. Rather than build an entirely new structure in place of the old and charming little building and dam, they would instead be juxtaposed and elevated against new features and adornments.

Tribeca Restaurant – Alicante / Noname 29

Five hundred kilos of Calatorao stones, stainless steel 3mx1.5m plates, solid Spanish walnut wood 50 mm thick. Thickness is the word that would define the proposal and the “raw” presence of the material, responsible for building its friendly atmosphere. Five large blocks of stone, which seem to float, build a fluctuating “magma”.

For All Things Good Restaurant / commoncraft

Prominently located on the corner of Havemeyer & Grand Streets in South Williamsburg, commoncraft’s second collaboration with For All Things Good plays off many of the design concepts originally developed at the Bed-Stuy location.  Guests are greeted by a muted color palette, composed of a careful balance of warm woods and natural tones.

Gimme Shelter Café and Workshop / Housescape Design Lab

“We are convinced that real architecture will leave an indelible trace in our minds by only elementary architectural action”. Today, architectural design for commercial spaces is expected and driven to try to communicate visually with users, or as a tool to attract people to spaces through visualization, photography, and social statement inevitably. In particular, restaurant and café type programs often borrow the other language of architecture to attract customers. But as a design worker in Chiang Mai, A city in which such businesses are driven by an architecture that requires Instagramable, is it necessary to question the situation through the design work? at least in order not to overlook the true essence of our profession.
