DESIGN NAME: The Exquisite Box
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Interior Design
INSPIRATION: The well-used and elaborately designed rooftop gives the restaurant a more versatile space where people feel free to enjoy their moments outdoor while appreciating the tranquil atmosphere of and historic Old Taipa Village.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: BELLA TAIPA, an Italian restaurant with a notable modernized colonial style in Macao, which was once a Portuguese colony, surely portraits that part of the history in a unique sterling way. The white walls, small wooden windows, white railing, humble balconies and neat facade, all these contribute to the restaurant’s fancy appearance just as a compact and elegant white jewelry box that catches people’s attention right away.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The decoration of the walls and rooftop is purposely carved with an octagonal plaid and checkered pattern. The color of most of the furniture such as tables and chairs carries a dark walnut chroma. This restaurant clearly exhibits the essence of diversity and a historical side of the city bearing traits from the Portuguese culture, as well as the exotic eastern flavor from the Chinese background polished with a South Asia touch.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project finished in January 2017 in Macau.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: While entering to the restaurant, a sense of awakening embraces you with a truly diverse and exotic ambience at every corner similar to the fine and exquisite jewelry you would see in a very sophisticated and craftsmanship jewelry box bathed in a South Asia style. The framed patterns from the windows reminds the observer of a kaleidoscope, carved with thousand shades of diamond lattice patterns.
CHALLENGE: The rich colored and outstanding bricks are embellished with a foggy gold wireframe and green leaves as foil, displaying a romantic yet relaxing leisure-like style from other parts of a the world. The indoor is also filled with various warm colors and the surface of the walls is bared with a beige color which shows a lot of character without being smooth as if particles of the walls were lively welcoming the customers to another dimension while their feet touch the ground with a subtle warm wood color.
