Agency: Minggu Design
Client: Nanjing Hongxiguan Catering Management Co., Ltd.

Surrounded by mountains and covered in green shade, the spirit of wuxia is integrated into the spatial expression, turning the architecture into a tangible representation of culture and beauty. Incorporating the concept of literary 'duality', with each floor of the functional area unfolding the narrative. Service, dining, and contemplation are integrated, all forms of sensory art are organized and activated, awakening the cultural needs of the public in the information age.

Purple Moutain Countyard Restaurant is located in a dense forest, In order to blur the boundary between indoor and outdoor, and maximize the outdoor landscape into the indoor vision, we use a large eave design, you can see the dining area of the mountain behind, using a cantilever eave and platform of nearly three meters. The glass of the facade is retracted behind the column split and the eaves, so that the space is effectively extended to the outside. Thus blurring the boundary between indoor and outdoor, the big eaves represent the eastern spirit of reverence for nature means of expression. Unlike the usual building in the face and column in a line, we separated the surface from the column, so that the column has a sense of sequence. At the same time, through the design of the suspended mechanical structure, the effect of the big eaves is finally realized, making it appear light and elegant, just like being suspended in the Woods.
