DESIGN NAME: Gachi by Kimchee
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Restaurant
INSPIRATION: It is designed to look like a food factory where everything is revealed with concrete floor, exposed pipes and wide open kitchen area. We want the customers to have the pleasure of cooking whilst observing their surroundings and watch how their food gets prepared.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: As the restaurant has a wide entrance, we decided to use bold black for the doors because it’s eye-catching as well as it being a classy welcoming for the customers. We wanted the restaurant
to be modern but have a contrast
of rustic and contemporary by juxtaposing rough elements with contemporary furniture, for example the black table, red and white chairs really adds a dynamic feel to the restaurant.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The restaurant has a VIP room, therefore we have decided to create a very sophisticated and sharp look for this room. By using red wooden ceilings and bold black walls help frame the room and enhance a chic and comfortable ambience for the customers to dine in.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The design concept is to create a food factory look, therefore using the exposed pipes and concrete materials enhances that look.
CHALLENGE: The restaurant has pipes running through the interior from every table so that the air can be transported upwards as the customers are cooking. The challenge here was to design and arrange these functional pipes into a unique feature and to blend in with the restaurant.
