Overview of the Viet Rice Essence Restaurant Design Project
The Viet Rice Essence brand is founded by Vietnamese enthusiasts passionate about food and cooking. With the desire to showcase Vietnamese cuisine to the world, Viet Rice Essence restaurant was established to fulfill that dream. KenDesign feels honored to be selected as the design firm for Viet Rice Essence, creating a warm and inviting restaurant space that exudes the essence of ancient Vietnam.
Owner's Vision
To bring Vietnamese cuisine to the world, Tinh Chất Cơm Việt (Viet Rice Essence) restaurant was established to realize that dream. Customers are immersed in a traditional Vietnamese culinary space, enjoying dishes that embody the quintessence of Vietnamese cuisine.
Design Process
With a design area of approximately 280m2, the restaurant space is meticulously divided into sections with detailed and scientific seating arrangements. The design is based on the existing layout, modified to create a distinctive style that brings a fresh and captivating atmosphere. KenDesign's team of architects designed and calculated to transform the existing space according to the owner's desires. The space breathes new life with a nostalgic and gentle touch, reminiscent of the ancient streets of Hanoi.
Restaurant Design Style
The design of Viet Rice Essence draws inspiration from the traditional countryside restaurant style representing the Northern region of Vietnam. This is one of the traditional Vietnamese restaurant design trends that the owner identified.
Traditional Vietnamese spaces combine the threads of traditional cultural heritage with modern elements, creating a familiar yet elegant and cozy ambiance. Colors used in the interior space are often earthy and neutral to highlight the natural beauty of wood. The spacious, gentle ambiance resembles a peaceful countryside scene. Cozy details are depicted vividly, such as simple and rustic wooden furniture, which is essential in these designs. Additionally, traditional materials cannot be overlooked in Vietnamese-style restaurant design.
Exterior Design of Viet Rice Essence Restaurant
The restaurant facade, based on the existing structure, impresses with its exterior space featuring intricately carved wooden doors. Curved patterns and wooden columns recreate the unique atmosphere of ancient Vietnam. The addition of lush greenery enhances the appeal and showcases the timeless charm of old Hanoi.
The exterior space of the restaurant is designed with simple awnings reminiscent of rural Vietnamese homes, creating a sense of familiarity. The awnings, topped with tiles, evoke imagery of the yin and yang-tiled roofs in the ancient streets of Hoi An. Hanging lanterns and wide windows reveal a rustic countryside scene inside the restaurant.
Space Reflecting the Essence of Ancient Vietnamese Architecture
The restaurant space, deeply rooted in the essence of ancient Vietnam, aims for simplicity and authenticity in both architecture and ambiance. It provides customers not only with a dining experience but also an opportunity to appreciate the cultural and culinary values of the Vietnamese people.
Traditional restaurant designs in Vietnam aim for simplicity and authenticity in both architecture and space, offering visitors a sense of the cultural and culinary values of the nation. The Viet Rice Essence restaurant design has its distinctive features, all directed towards sincerity and intimacy in every detail.
Nevertheless, the architectural design incorporates a modern touch within the interior to create harmony for a restaurant space that accommodates both local and international customers. Living in the bustling urban space, people always race against time, often forgetting the peaceful and relaxing moments they once had.
The traditional restaurant design style of the Vietnamese people divides the space scientifically with individual sections. The layout runs vertically, with comfortable seating areas catering to customer needs. The restaurant space exudes a traditional Vietnamese style, inviting lovers of Vietnamese culture to reminisce about their homeland and intriguing tourists with the history, culture, and people of Vietnam.
Wooden Furniture and Terracotta
The restaurant's interior is predominantly crafted from dark, decorated wood, adorned with Han character screens and intricate floral details on doors and chairs, providing customers with a delightful experience. The restaurant space, reflecting the traditional culture and cuisine of Vietnam, is highly appreciated by many foreign tourists. Stepping into this interior space, you feel immersed in nature, providing comfort.
The unique terracotta walls are also reproduced in the Viet Rice Essence restaurant design. The deep wood tones create a cozy atmosphere for diners. Moreover, the traditional Viet Rice Essence restaurant design incorporates various unique decorative details with meticulous craftsmanship, ensuring a lasting impression on customers.
Additionally, the lighting system blends traditional and modern elements to create a warm atmosphere for the restaurant. The use of carpeted floors enhances the modern and professional design of the restaurant. Traditional restaurants often use warm-colored lighting with yellow hues to create a cozy atmosphere.
In this design, besides using recessed lights in the walls, lights are also suspended in woven bamboo lanterns along the impressive interior. Combined with soft, warm colors, this design undoubtedly provides a traditional restaurant space that customers will find unforgettable.
Impressive Restaurant Decoration
To express a gentle, nostalgic feeling that fosters a close relationship with customers, the design incorporates soft, diffused lights. These lights create a mysterious yet slightly alluring atmosphere, stimulating the curiosity of customers and making the space more private and tranquil than ever before.
The restaurant space is attractively decorated without overusing excessive details. It harmoniously combines with the restaurant's architecture and interior, creating an impressive space. The use of woven straw pendant lights is an excellent idea for traditional restaurant design decoration.
Traditional restaurant designs use rich furniture with various materials such as rattan and bamboo, showcasing impressive and attractive handmade artistic products. These familiar images resonate with the Vietnamese people. Therefore, the use of bamboo in the design also conveys cultural values pointing to the source.
Moreover, traditional restaurant designs also incorporate popular wooden patterns in the distinctive houses of Vietnam, creating a familiar and intimate feeling. Along with that are images of lotus flowers, conical hats, and patterns of bamboo and straw in paintings, depicting characteristic activities of the Vietnamese people such as rice fields, street vendors, etc., in the traditional Vietnamese-style restaurant design.
Various patterned tiles are also commonly used in traditional restaurant designs, combining these tile patterns to create a visually appealing effect. They can also be used for decoration or to accentuate features in the restaurant's space. The KenDesign team created unique scenes with traditional Vietnamese village culture in this restaurant design.
