DESIGN NAME: La Bottega
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Restaurant
INSPIRATION: The site is situated along a narrow leafy street with traditional style Chinese teahouses set amongst other stone buildings. Our initial concept took notes from the artisans and bottegas of Italy, and whilst the design had to be authentic and classic the client wanted modern touches and edgy visual elements to bring the space to life.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: La bottega is a new Italian eatery located on the Grand Canal in the old district of Hangzhou. The three founders all grew-up in different parts of Italy – from Florence, Venice and Rome and recently came to back to China to start a new life. With a deep love of Italian culture and cuisine they decided to bring an authentic experience to the city.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: hcreates design lead Alex Davies said the buildings age and location gave it an instant backbone and genuineness to the project which was a great starting point. “When starting the design we wanted to respect the buildings heritage whilst curating an artisanal Italian aesthetic that adds character and warmth.”
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project strated in late 2021 in Hangzhou and finished in 2022.
