Organic Fine Dining Comes to Hong Kong, Designed by Fak3
July 20, 2008 | FAK3
FAK3 led by Johnny Wong and Miho Hirabayashi have recently designed a two storey chic organic fine dining restaurant and bar called Beo* (Beautifully Organic) in Hong Kong.
The restaurant/bar is split into two levels, the upper floor has a series of booth seating areas with a series of island tables made out of marble, accompanied with a collection of assorted styles of chairs.
Arriving in the main dining area of the restaurant, you must enter a sequence of spaces beginning with a striated travertine clad façade, which visually looks like an excavated section of earth.
Moving through the threshold, you will experience an organic formed space with a gently undulating corridor with sheer white drapery on either side steers guests into the open dining room with a view out the back towards green foliage.
The central feature to the dining space is an island bar in a white high gloss finish constructed out of FRP, to give its smooth liquid form.
Overhead is a chandelier like form assembled out of wine glasses, with back lighting, illuminating the whole sculptural piece like a glass cloud.
A whimsical touch in the washrooms is a six point star light which is the logo for the Beo* brand, that gives guests the impression of having stars in their eyes, when they view themselves in the mirror.
The Basement level is the signature space; a stone clad staircase, led by a twisted balustrade that descends into a white 'shell-like' cavern, which is the lounge and bar.
