Home | Projects | KOI Chinese Restaurant

KOI Chinese Restaurant, a sister company of the popular KOI Japanese Sushi Train, was designed with the vision of creating a modern yet authentic Chinese atmosphere. The design brief emphasised incorporating traditional Chinese elements while using natural, sustainable materials, both imported and locally sourced. BHO Interiors was tasked with seamlessly blending these elements to craft a contemporary dining space that paid homage to Chinese culture while maintaining a sleek, modern aesthetic.

The project was a resounding success, despite the limited timeframe. From inception to completion, the entire design and construction process was achieved in less than two months. A crucial part of the project was meeting the stringent standards set by the shopping centre’s design management team. BHO Interiors had to meticulously document every aspect of the design within an incredibly tight deadline of just three weeks to secure approval. This required a balance of creativity, precision, and efficiency, making the successful execution even more remarkable.

One of the standout features of the restaurant is the harmonious contrast between different material formations, which adds depth and authenticity to the space. The herringbone timber floor provides a strong foundation, drawing the eye toward the curved timber feature walls that evoke a sense of fluidity and motion. These curved walls not only soften the space but also create an inviting, intimate atmosphere for diners.

The ceiling design is equally striking, featuring a suspended pallet structure that ties the design together, adding a touch of industrial flair to the overall modern aesthetic. This feature ceiling, paired with carefully selected lighting, creates a warm and inviting ambience, enhancing the dining experience.

The bar counter, a focal point of the restaurant, was designed with intricate attention to detail. The suspended frame shelving above the bar is both functional and artistic, allowing for an open and visually appealing display of glassware and spirits. Behind the bar, a custom-built wine rack is set against an exposed brick wall, adding a rustic touch that contrasts beautifully with the polished modern elements of the space.

Each element of the restaurant’s design, from the flooring to the ceiling, was thoughtfully curated to reflect the essence of KOI Chinese Restaurant. The combination of traditional Chinese characteristics with sustainable materials and innovative design solutions has resulted in a space that is not only visually stunning but also environmentally conscious.
