Da Ya Li

Roast Duck Restaurant for Beijing Da Ya Li Catering Co., Ltd.

The core visual focus of the space is the red tree house. This super-symbol image can form a memory point for a brand, and create better spreading effect, so that the local has a new understanding of Beijing cuisine. The red color is a symbol of solemn Chinese royal architecture, and it is also the typical sign of peppery taste in Sichuan cuisine. This color is presented in this project with a visually striking image, which evokes taste memory and recalls national culture at the same time.

Production Technology

The most highlighted part is the tree house made of rattan. Like other raw materials as bricks and wood, the solid weave pattern slowly rises from the entrance of the staircase and eventually extends to the seats. The cool smoky black antique brick walls and floor tiles reduce the restlessness and anxiety brought by the warm red, achieving a delicate balance between color and material temperature. Materials, colors, and craftsmanship are intrinsically connected with the super symbol tree house. For example, the rattan for wall decoration, the rattan for tree house, and the rattan for door panels are the same one with different handling methods.

Design Challenge

We had 2 challenges. This roast duck restaurant brand - Da Ya Li, has been in the catering market for over two decades. The first challenge was aging problem of an old brand, and the other challenge was how to better integrate into the local Sichuan culture as a Beijing cuisine. How to maintain the endless vitality of an old brand is a great challenge, but in this project, the designer is facing both challenges of brand image upgrading and integrating into the local culture.

Project Duration

The project started in June 2019 in Chengdu and finished in September 2019 in Chengdu.

Operation Flow

To feel the image of "visual symbol" in the space, two values must be realized. One is to spread the value, customers have a topical communication carrier , and the other is to be able to form a brand visual symbol, strengthen and deepen the experience of the brand. The core visual focus of the space is the red tree house. This super-symbol image can form a memory point for a brand, and create better spreading effect, so that the local has a new understanding of Beijing cuisine.
