The Restaurant under the Starry Night
This is a great place to tell your story and give people more insight into who you are, what you do, and why it’s all about you.
The design of a fully glazed restaurant brought with itself 2 challenges : one, no screws on the floor and two, to keep cool in the interiors
One, We achieved a Structural glazing system that harnessed tension support the forces from the lateral sides and frame less glazing units filled into the skeleton, bringing the experience of a dreamy glass house.
Two, The interiors were optimized for better thermal performance by engineering open hung strip windows to aid in smoother air circulation, passive cooling techniques, Material optimisation for controlling incident heat and also operative strategies that can be employed everyday to keep the space comfortable and ventillated thus reducing operating costs for the client.
