Rocha Cook

Restaurant for Zhangkaifeng Architectural Design Firm

Rocha cook is a restaurant located in the middle of Longquan Mountain in Chengdu, China. It faces the beautiful urban area of Chengdu and sits in plants surrounded by green trees.

The white buildings are integrated with some wall devices, and the boundless swimming pool shows the city scenery. Due to Chengdu's geographical reasons, the sunshine is very precious, so it was rated as "the most beautiful sunset restaurant in Chengdu" by guests.

Unique Properties

Back on June 3, 2019, The designer came here for the first time in the scorching summer. After nearly two months of site selection, The designer finally came to this mountain depression, saw an old house wrapped by the forest, climbed up the roof and was pleasantly surprised to see the whole city. Sitting on the courtyard wall, The designer began to imagine what kind of house to build at the designer feet. It should be natural, romantic, naive, quiet and passionate.

Production Technology

Simple design materials, the whole is poured from concrete structure, and the outer wall adopts white art paint.

Design Challenge

In the reconstruction of old houses, the designers need to face some government conditions and changes in the nature of land, and meet the building specifications to achieve good design results. After nearly three years of design and construction, Rocha cook encountered a rare rainstorm that washed away the foundation, experienced the once-in-a-century heavy snowfall and mountain closure in Chengdu, and survived the panic of the outbreak of the epidemic.

Project Duration

Address: Chengdu City, China Design Time: 2019.08 Completion Time: 2022.03 DesignStyle: Naturalism

Operation Flow

Exploration site, design, demolition, structural pouring, facade decoration, interior decoration, soft decoration yard and completion.

Research

The design technique is good at deconstructing a set of expression forms in line with modern aesthetics and cognition in the classical architectural structure based on naturalism and oriental aesthetics. It interprets elegant, artistic and fashionable works through modern materials combined with current popular colors, maintains its own unique aesthetic standards in the field of architecture and interior design, and successfully shapes one modern space with naturalistic charm after another.

Inspiration

White walls grow out of the soil, and they are freely combined into a barrier. The scattered relationship makes the light and shadow have different gaps to drill. Around here, you will be fascinated by a long picture like scenery. In the distance is the city the designers love. Turning around, the designers can see that the geometrically arranged walls sprout in the soil, like growing buildings. In fact, they are also alive.
