Our design for this project is inspired by the stunning landscapes of Sichuan, China—the birthplace of Malatang. The dish, created by boat trackers along the Yangtze River to combat harsh weather, is both a cultural and culinary tradition.

We capture this rich history through an innovative upside-down, staggered louvre ceiling, reflecting the undulating mountains and valleys of Sichuan’s natural beauty. This architectural feature creates a captivating atmosphere that transports diners into the heart of Sichuan, blending the essence of the food with the breathtaking landscapes that inspired it.
