Jinyuanbao Shishanghui Restaurant, located in Nanjing Wanda Plaza, mainly serves authentic Huaiyang Cuisine. Nowadays when Sichuan Cuisine and Hunan Cuisine prevail, the restaurant offers a taste of hometown. The designer starts from the reality of Huaiyang Area and the IMPRESSIONS OF VILLAGES is selected as the theme of restaurant design. The far mountains, breezes, flowing clouds, vegetable gardens, and grasslands that are partitioned by bamboo fences and other active elements are made into abstract static models inside the restaurant.

The egg-shaped braided fabrics divide the hall space. Through an elliptical viewing frame, the far mountains are presented, which makes the restaurant clients feel at first as if they are in the nature. The designer realizes in a straight way the image positioning, function setting, and traffic diversion in
the egg-shaped braided fabrics. The space less than 600 m² is required to accommodate 200 people at one time for dinner. Each dining unit is primarily to have 4-6 people, the rectangular dining tables are arranged flexibly, and the three nest-shaped spaces half separated are presented in a round table
way, which is accepted as a Chinese way of dining. Such layout extends the previously compact spaces. The seemingly compact layout actually means to reduce the space occupancy of the traffic. The suspended ceiling with free curves looks like flowing clouds and leads the trends of all elements in this space. The arrangement of the lights and the layout of tables and chairs form a hidden axis, connecting elaborately the elements that seem scattered.

The designer did not use the so-called original rough materials to introduce a tactile impression of villages; alternatively, the concrete reality is transformed into the abstract for presentation, the abstract thinking changes into actual experience, and finally, it returns to the abstract. The far mountains are slightly reflected on the walls, the terrazzo ground by monolithic casting is peaceful, bright, and clean, on which the surface of the river in front of the door reflects itself and the vertical spiral lamp post is the whirlwind over the levee that runs together with the flowing cloud on the top.
