Southeast Asian Shop House Vocabulary: A Restaurant with Wooden Structure and Tiled Lettering

The restaurant's spatial vocabulary is derived from Southeast Asian wooden shophouses: teak chairs and benches, with seats upholstered in moss green leather; wooden tables are unpainted, only oiled, showing signs of use. Two walls are tiled with small colorful tiles in teal, brick red, and white, arranged geometrically. One section deliberately spells out text with tiles, in a handwritten style reminiscent of old signboards. The original beams are preserved in the ceiling, painted dark, with a row of low-hanging round woven rattan lampshades. The flooring is old terrazzo. Avoid: adding Southeast Asian resort-style rattan and tropical plants, using a single color for tiles, staining wood dark to mimic antique, using industrial-style metal shades for lighting.

餐廳的空間語彙來自南洋的木造店屋:柚木的椅與長凳,椅面包苔綠色皮革;木桌不上漆,只上油,看得見使用的痕跡。兩面牆貼小尺寸的彩色磁磚,顏色是青綠、磚紅、白三色,以幾何的方式排列,其中一段刻意用磁磚拼出文字,字體是老招牌的手寫感。天花保留原始的樑,漆成深色,吊下一排低垂的圓形藤編燈罩。地坪是舊的水磨石。避免:加入東南亞度假風的藤編與熱帶植物、磁磚使用單一顏色、木材染成深色仿古、燈具使用工業風金屬罩。
