Tianmuli, designed by architect Renzo Piano, is a landmark comprehensive art park in Hangzhou, covering functional sections such as art galleries, art centers, show venues, public squares, design hotels, and art commerce. Tianmuli TTS Noodle Restaurant is located on the first floor of Tianmuli, Hangzhou. The location is relatively remote and lacks flow of natural people. How to use the design as a venue to divert traffic and make TTS Noodle Restaurant a topical and memorable destination among the many artistic spaces in Tianmu has become a challenge for this project.

We started the exploration of locality with the “central concrete pillar” as the design origin. Therefore, taking “this concrete column” as design origin, we launched exploration of the site. According to function, the site is divided into two areas: dining and kitchen area. According to the column in the center, the circular body block is formed layer by layer, and then the general block is deleted according to the streamline required for walking to form the negative space of the mainstream line. According to different dining and social scenes, the final layout is formed and the seat blocks are scattered and enclosed.
