餐廳坐落在全新修建的科威特四季酒店頂層，堪稱布爾吉阿爾薩亞大樓的一顆璀璨之星。Kokaistudios 與四季酒店集團在此前已經(jīng)有過合作，負責打造了京都四季酒店全日餐廳。這一次，四季酒店團隊邀請 Kokaistudios 構思出一個獨具創(chuàng)意的餐飲空間，將新加坡、東京和香港的街頭美食匯集到高級餐飲的環(huán)境中，打造精致高雅的用餐體驗。

設計師從這一概念出發(fā)，充分考慮到該片區(qū)尚無高級亞洲餐飲傳統(tǒng)這一事實，著手打造集亞洲美食和精湛設計工藝于一體的高雅空間。我們回避了刻奇和主題式的風格，致力于營造一個精煉并令人神清氣爽的氛圍，讓餐廳的精巧設計和食物本身一樣，也成為餐飲體驗的一部分。

餐廳設計的宗旨是在體現(xiàn)亞洲美食的多樣性和非凡性的同時，讓賓客在獨特的空間中盡情享受亞洲多地美食別具一格的色、香、味等多重感官體驗。

為了將各地文化和諧地融入設計語言中，設計師悉心研究了這些文化的共性。在文化元素的塑造方面，弱化了各地當代文化的元素，轉而從對歷史上對亞洲

餐廳的入口處設有一道長廊，長廊的一側為采用當?shù)囟喾N沙漠植物構成的巨幅綠色植物墻，另一側則為一排定制水柱，水柱排列次序井然，營造出清涼舒爽的氛圍。長廊的盡頭是一面擺放著各種茶具的墻壁，其前方是一個精致的木雕茶歇臺，賓客可以在此處從品種齊全的上等茶葉中任意甄選。

入口長廊的右方是開放式用餐區(qū)主廳，挑高 12米的天花令空間更顯開闊大氣，整座城市和遠方波斯灣的壯美風光盡收眼底。前用餐區(qū)的中央部分配備了設計師與京都匠人協(xié)力打造的一系列定制家具，被以燒杉板制成的寬敞壽司臺圍繞。來自倫敦的DH Liberty Lux 工作室制作的一系列水滴形玻璃吊燈為該區(qū)域營造了柔和溫馨的燈光。

公共區(qū)域的其余座位主要圍繞在多個開放式現(xiàn)場烹飪臺的四周，賓客可以近距離觀察“robatta”、鐵板燒、港式點心及其他佳肴的烹制過程，烹飪臺的上方為手工打造的金屬罩，精心雕刻的石質底座上有各種圖案和花紋，與中式古典設計遙相呼應。

設計師以木、石為主要材料，搭配手工打造的金屬件，產(chǎn)生強烈的對比，在此基礎上再矗立一面具有三維效果的墻壁，墻壁上的混凝磚直接袒露在外，貫穿整個廚房墻壁。墻壁的花紋采用參數(shù)化設計，將簡單的直線結構化作此起彼伏的立體形狀，令人不禁聯(lián)想起動感的波浪。

私人用餐室宛如對中國刺繡工藝的頌歌，定制餐椅和墻壁上均可見手工印花亞麻面料。同時，來自威尼斯的首席設計師Filippo Gabbiani 還加入了源自意大利的Fortuny絲綢吊燈和紅色Murano玻璃鑲嵌裝飾，光彩溢目之間仿佛穿越了時光，東西合璧的風情若隱若現(xiàn)。

在衛(wèi)生間的設計上，設計師與上海視頻制作團隊Flatmind合作制作了一系列中國皮影式視頻裝置，將趣致生動的圖案投射在灰色的手工捶打的中國石材上，這樣的衛(wèi)生間勢必不會成為被人遺忘的“配角”。

餐廳與毗鄰的意式餐廳 Dai Forni 共用戶外用餐區(qū)；同樣由 Kokaistudios 操刀設計；來自倫敦設計工作室Duffy的水晶雕塑熠熠生輝，令人目眩，是整個戶外用餐區(qū)的一大亮點。

在此項目中，Kokaistudios 進一步將強烈的建筑手法帶入到室內設計中，并創(chuàng)新地運用材料和燈光營造人與空間之間柔和中有驚喜的微妙感覺。各類手工打造的細節(jié)以最精細的狀態(tài)呈現(xiàn)出來，與空間的晝夜光景水乳交融，讓空間整體呈現(xiàn)出強大的表現(xiàn)力。

Kokaistudios is delighted to announce the opening of our most recent project with Four Seasons Hotels & Resorts; the Sintoho Asian fi ne dining restaurant located on the top fl oor of the newly built Four Seasons Kuwait in the Burj Alshaya building. Having previously worked together on the Brasserie at the Four Seasons Kyoto the Four Seasons team invited Kokaistudios to conceive an innovative F&B destination that could elevate the street foods of the cities of Singapore, Tokyo and Hong Kong into a fine dining destination and experience.

Intrigued by the concept and the location in a city with no established tradition of Asian fine dining we set about creating a temple to Asian cuisine and craftsmanship that eschewed kitschy and thematic styles and aimed for the creation of an essential and refreshing space in which the dining experience is in fl uenced both by the architecture of the space and the food offering.

The restaurant design was conceived first and foremost around the idea of celebrating the diversity and excellence of Asian cuisine and creating spaces and opportunities for the guests to experience the sights, smells and tastes of these food cultures up close.

We searched for commonalities between the cultures in order to come up with a design language to unite them and we took our inspiration less from the current nature of the individual countries but rather from the historical role that Chinese culture has played over time throughout Asia and how those influences continue to be part of everyday life.

3 私人就餐區(qū)

The entrance area of the restaurant features a long corridor fl anked on one side by an expansive green wall filled primarily with local desert plant varietals and on the other by a series of custom designed water towers which combine to create a cooling and soothing experience. The corridor finishes in a tea wall fronted by an elaborate carved wood tea station where guests can select an expansive choice of fi ne teas.

To the right of the entrance corridor sits the main open dining area on the right that features expansive 12 meter high ceilings that offers expansive views of the city and the Persian Gulf beyond. The front dining area center features a series of custom designed furniture for which we cooperated with Kyoto based artisans and the area is hemmed by an extensive shousugi ban burnt wood sushi counter inlaid with hand hammered brass. The soft lighting in the area comes from the series of water drop glass pendants produced by the London based artisans DHLiberty Lux.

The rest of the public area seating is centered largely around the individual open live cooking stations where guests can experience up-close the preparation of robatta, teppanyaki, and dim sum and other delicacies from Hong Kong which have been clad by hand-hammered metal hoods and sculpted stone bases featuring images and motifs typical inspired by classical designs found in China.

The strong inter-play between the main materials of wood, stone, and hand- fi nished metals is thrown a curve by the insertion of a 3D feature wall made of exposed concrete forms that runs the length of the kitchen wall and has been designed using parametric principles and its undulating form appears as a dynamic wave while being in actuality a straight structure.

The private dining rooms are an ode to Chinese embroidery craftsmanship with bespoke chairs and walls featuring hand-printed linen fabric albeit with a wink to principal designer Filippo Gabbiani's home town of Venice via the use of the Fortuny silk pendant lamps and red Murano glass inlays.

The bathrooms are an experience in and of themselves as we cooperated with a Shanghai based video production team Flatmind to create a series of Chinese shadow video installations that are projected on the grey hand hammered Chinese stone.

The outdoor seating areas that are shared with the neighboring Italian restaurant Dai Forni; also designed by Kokaistudios; feature a stunning glass sculpture from London based artisans Duffy.

The design of this project is a new step in Kokaistudios method of combining a strong architectural approach to the design of interiors with an original use of materials and light to create unexpected subtle emphatic feeling between the space and the people; handcrafted materials shaped and controlled up to the finest detail interact and interplay with the both the day and night light and reveal an incredibly expressive power.
