The inspiration of this design comes from the worship of the mountains by the Tibetan people. This kind of love to mountain contributes to the particular architectural form and the choice of the color. The shapes and textures of mountains are creating inspirations to Tibetan people. The reflection of natural lights on mountains became the vitality of local architecture.

We hope that we can have a common view with Tibetan people, in order to take a look at the using of the whole construction elements and the forming of the atmosphere during the process of the restaurants' design.

Base on the observations of the site and the requirements of the clients we have found the lighting conditions are poor, and then we lay our stress on how to deal with the problem of a low-light environment and how to reflect local characteristics with modern design methods during this design process.

The columns in this space play an important role in supporting the structure and defines the space with a rank layout.

We introduced the idea of “colorful lamp-chimney” to make each column not only be the light machine in the space, but also be the visual focus in the restaurant. The purpose of doing this is in order to expand the lighting space, so that each space has it own lighting focus point in different layers. With method of adding lighting focuses, we also hope the low-light environment can be improved.

The “colorful lamp-chimney” made from lots of constituent elements. This inspiration comes from the textures of the stratiform rock (this element appears on the array style of the local architectures and the enclosures ).

All the layout of the furnishings and circulations of the customers are around with the huge “lamp-chimney” in the space. This is the principal of the zoning.

The design of the walls are coherence Between the two restaurants next to each other. In order to give a profound impression to customers. We continue to use some design elements from the “lamp-chimney” and re-create a modern patterns on the walls in these two restaurants during the process of design.

With designing the new patterns and worship work made by the local craftman. Reproducing the special texture of the mountain which gives people a condition about continuous, syncretic, optional and changeable style. This is also a different ceremony of “worship to the mountains” that we give to the nature as an outsider.
