Production Technology
Designer creates a lake in front of the entrance ceiling with waving stainless steal surface, some narrow gull rocks are produced by 3D printing. The rocks are not identical to stimulate the power of nature. A tree is planted in the centre of the restaurant and grow toward the light in the middle, to make the light so real to be sun. Special lighting also allows brightness to be auto associated with outdoor true sunlight.
