Tianmen Mountain Restaurant

Text description provided by architect.

Located on riverside opposite the peach blossom island which is a fantastic sight point in Tianmen Mountain scenic of Guilin, the restaurant was oriented not as a building but a special viewfinder.

The concept is to create unique experience through combine the natural Environment with the manmade boundary surface.

On the restaurant’s interior, the steel beams support roof and the beams also accommodate several strip -shaped clerestory windows which bring in natural light and view from outside.

A series of different shaped shelves made of local fir looks warm and vernacular. The building looks like a super window for overall view.
