Located in the Chengdu, Capital of Sichuan Province in China, the GINGKO BACCHUS Restaurant is a surrealistic blend (respectively “graft”) of western and Chinese restaurant and food culture.
The starting point of the design is a blacked out space. The public spaces are considered a river or a stream along which one “floats” through the depth of the 1200m2 black space. The stream is entered directly from the elevators which are the only access to this restaurant on the 4th floor of the Gingko Restaurant Building. The undulated wood ceiling and the stainless steel intarsia of the floor pattern create the flowing sensation of this “stream” which terminates at the open dining and show cooking area. 8 private dining rooms are located like boulders along the stream, each color coded and themed by food and famous Bacchus depictions

Spanish Expo : Mexican Pavilion by Tatiana Bilbao

The design emphasizes lightness, with large glass panes, shifting planes, and unexpected images, designs, and reflections which configure the containers of the different rooms. Inside are the large platforms displaying what water represents to Mexico. There are four rooms, designated “experiences,” each with its specific character and content, from the maternal womb to immersion in the Caribbean Sea, with hi-tech projections and interactive episodes.

The interiors, designed by Héctor Esrawe, house a gift shop on the ground floor and a room dedicated to the National Water Commission (Conagua). On the upper floor is the restaurant/bar, which conveys the color of beach restaurants and the seafood outlets of Mexico City in Planta baja Lower level plan Planta alta Upper level plan Sección Section a contemporary language

The Platform Bed

The design of the Platform Bed began with the requirement that the bed could be disassembled, allowing for easy moving or shipping to another location. This constraint also suggested that the longest structural member should be no longer than the width of a double bed (rather than the length).

The solution for the Platform Bed was to build two rectangular frames, made of cherry, and bolt them together in the center to form a strong structural beam. The frame cantilevers out from the birch legs, and the under-structure (also constructed of birch) ties the whole frame together. To make the connections of the the under-structure members simpler, round aluminum fittings were used at the moments where three or more pieces of wood come together at varying angles.
