Return Restaurant (Aluohai Plaza, Xiamen) by Return


Living in the urban concrete jungle, we yearn for ocean and have portrayed different versions of underwater worlds. The sea is abstract yet concrete, stimulating infinite imagination. It's like a metaphor, connecting with our emotional perception as architecture does.

The endless coastlines in the earth divide two totally different worlds between reality and imagination. As approaching this restaurant space, the design team brought in a large area of blue as the highlighted visual element. It's like an invitation that the sea sends to people, conveying calmness and restraint under the dynamic ocean surface.
