About Dragon Restaurant
Dragon is a restaurant interior located inside a financial technology office building in Beijing. The design covers 2500 square meters and seeks a calm atmosphere based on natural elements. A main challenge was that 80 percent of the dining space lies underground and receives no natural light. Nature is therefore simulated. A waterfall and a pool are formed in cast concrete with digital technology, and copper ducklings appear to swim on the surface. Private dining rooms recall the shape of a valley, with plants and seasons, and simulated light supports these enclosed areas.

- Inspiration
- Nature is simulated: one by casting a "waterfall" and "pool" via digital tech. Some copper ducklings even "swim" on this cast installation. Because of the long cold winters, outdoor-waterscapes are not suitable in Beijing, but people love water features. Another simulation is to imitate the shape of a valley and various plants and different seasons in the private dining rooms which are without windows and natural light.
