Spices Bistro Specialty Restaurant: A Vibrant Blend of Modernity and Tradition

Creating a Tranquil and Lively Dining Experience

The Spices Bistro Specialty Restaurant, designed by Ivan Cheng, aims to deliver a feeling of tranquility and liveliness to its guests. Inspired by the calm simplicity of Southeast Asian artifacts and the elegance of Italian style, Cheng infuses both elements into the design, creating a space that is stylishly cultural and timeless. With its unique character and custom-designed features, this restaurant stands out within the hotel and the region, providing a vibrant mix of modernity and classic touch.

The design of Spices Bistro Specialty Restaurant is a harmonious blend of Southeast Asian ambiance and Italian sophistication. The walls and ceilings feature a combination of zebrawood and beige travertine, contrasting with a circle and stripes pattern carpet to create a vibrant effect. The cool bar, bold color contrasts, floor lamps, and wooden bead curtains in the dining space further enhance the Southeast Asian leisure in a modern sense.

With an area space of 395 sq.m. and a ceiling height of 4.2 m, the restaurant offers a view overlooking the lake, adding to the overall tranquil atmosphere. The choice of natural materials and sustainable furnishings reflects the designer's commitment to creating an environmentally-friendly space.

Cheng's attention to detail and close collaboration with the client and management company ensured that every aspect of the design met high standards. The restaurant not only serves as a place for guests to enjoy authentic Southeast Asian cuisines but also provides a resort-like experience, allowing them to escape and relax.

The project, initiated in February 2010 and completed in July 2011, showcases Cheng's passion for design and his ability to create a captivating space within a short timeframe. His years of exposure to Asian and Western cultures influenced the incorporation of Southeast Asian and Italian elements into the design concept.

The Spices Bistro Specialty Restaurant was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in 2013 for its well-designed, practical, and innovative features. This recognition highlights the restaurant's ability to meet professional and industrial requirements while providing fulfillment and positive experiences for its guests.

With its vibrant mix of modernity and classic touch, the Spices Bistro Specialty Restaurant offers a unique dining experience that transports guests to a world of tranquility and liveliness. Cheng's attention to detail and commitment to sustainability make this restaurant a standout destination within the region.
