Rosefinch Hot Pot Restaurant

Rosefinch Hot Pot Restaurant

Rosefinch Hot Pot Restaurant is an innovative architectural and interior design project completed in Shanghai during 2020, exemplifying a harmonious blend of contemporary design principles with traditional Chinese cultural elements. The 400-square-meter establishment features a distinctive 50-meter-long facade that creates an illusion of endless hills rising within its mall setting, challenging conventional spatial limitations through its sophisticated architectural structure system. The design's entrance is characterized by three interlacing half-arcs that create mirror-like water ripples, establishing a compelling visual narrative that draws inspiration from the classical Chinese literary work Peach Blossom Spring. The interior space demonstrates a masterful interplay of geometric forms, incorporating both angular and circular elements in its bar and wine cabinet designs, utilizing natural jade and metal to create deliberate material contrasts between warmth and coldness. The establishment's spatial organization includes carefully planned functional areas encompassing entrance reception, waiting areas, water bar, cashier section, dining zones, seasoning stations, and private rooms, all executed through premium materials including black titanium stainless steel, mirror-finish surfaces, terrazzo, marble, and brass. This sophisticated design approach, which earned the Silver A' Design Award in the Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design category in 2021, successfully transforms the restaurant into a third space that transcends traditional commercial environment boundaries, offering patrons a rich emotional experience through its thoughtful spatial planning and atmospheric elements.
