Xiang
Xiang is a Chinese restaurant interior created inside an old house in the center of Tainan, Taiwan. The design is inspired by the salon, a historic form of gathering where guests meet, talk and relax. The original structure is preserved and joined with a new diagonally cut building form. Chinese red brick, Morandi green walls and sand gold custom iron pieces respond to the Hunan dishes served. Clear water mold and straight grain acrylic add a modern tone. A large floor-to-ceiling window shows the warm dining atmosphere to passers-by.
Xiang Chinese Restaurant by Mingtse Hung was recognized as a creative example of architectural design by the A' Design Award & Competition. Xiang Chinese Restaurant earned the Silver A' Design Award in Interior Space and Exhibition Design in 2020. The A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award is a highly prestigious, international, juried design competition that celebrates exceptional design of residential interiors, restaurants, hotels, offices, galleries, retail stores, showrooms, exhibition spaces and more.
