About The Entry

Located in Dongguan’s Songshan Lake area, this Haidilao hot pot restaurant centers on "Nature Coexistence · Immersive Socializing." Indoor tree-shadow installations visually connect with the outdoor garden, creating an integrated spatial experience enhanced by dynamic lighting.

Nature Coexistence: The design team deconstructs the ceiling into geometric volumes, forming a layered yet harmonious composition. Light and shadow simulate the passage of natural time, refracting through the high ceiling onto walls, giving the space a dynamic tension. As guests move through, they experience a rhythm of day and night, blending natural atmosphere with dining—breaking stereotypes of hot pot restaurants and offering a new aesthetic and comfortable experience.

Immersive Socializing: The design responds to Haidilao’s innovative late-night model, creating a "hot pot + drinks" personalized experience with seamless transitions across daily, dinner, lounge, and nightlife scenes. Interactive projections and sound systems activate social and entertainment dimensions. The natural flow between day and night scenes not only meets evolving dining needs but also reshapes the temporal dimension of hot pot dining through dramatic lighting, demonstrating innovation and practicality.
