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 has been identified as an outstanding example of architectural design by the A' Design Awards. Xiang Chinese Restaurant was awarded the Silver A' Design Award in Interior Space and Exhibition Design in 2020. The A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award is a juried, academic and highly prestigious design award that rewards superior design of residential interiors, restaurants, hotels, offices, galleries, retail stores, showrooms, exhibition spaces and more.
