The
project draws its primary inspiration from the iconic Train Street in Hanoi,
seamlessly blending these elements with the utopian ideals of the Asaka
community in Beihai. Through a design approach rich in symbolism, the space
integrates train-inspired motifs and accents, linking the dining experience to
the flavors of the cuisine while resonating with Beihai’s ethos as a scenic and
welcoming tourist destination.

This
spirit is reflected in the interior design, which embraces warm tones inspired
by the vibrant yellow of frangipani and a twilight palette that evokes the
ambiance of bustling markets and laid-back street cafés. Material selections
aim to evoke an elegant lifestyle, featuring Southeast Asian elements such as
rattan furniture, which adds a touch of authenticity and regional charm to the
space.
