Jinhua Architecture Park, China

The restaurant’s rigid but elegant structure of steel, stone and bamboo represents an interpretation of the Chinese dining culture. The traditional restaurant typology of “watching and being watched” is emphasized in the project. Three “speeds” of eating are integrated in one building. This assortment is provided by “vending machines” (street food), a “3D tablescape” (medium food), and a “lounge restaurant” (slow food).

Restaurant 13 is integrated in the Park through its steel-bamboo structure providing shadow and shelter. Its open ground floor plan merges the restaurant with the park without a specific border. The detailing of the roofscape refers to the way traditional Chinese architecture deals with the nature elements.
