The inspiration of the gold leaf comes from the ginkgo tree under the ancient Guanyin Zen Temple at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, and the light of a thousand years has been translated into 60,000 gold leaves in the space. When the sun shines through, the gold leaves project flowing and changing light shadow. In our own way, we imply the vitality of the thousand-year-old ginkgo tree, and have a dialogue with the "tree of life" outside window.

Roganic’s philosophy pushes the boundaries of farm-to-table dining and sustainable gastronomy. The client wished to extend Chef Simon Rogan’s zero waste dining ethos from the menu to its new interiors in Lee Garden. An immersive dining experience for its premium diners with sustainable local materials. The material deployed in the interiors should be the manifesto of its own sustainable story, like each of the dining menu the Chef has created from the locally sourced farm. Locally felled tree timber from typhoon and development was salvaged and processed in Timberbank—a Hong Kong local eco-preneur. The team creates the forest dining room which covers the ceiling, columns, walls and tables. Each dining table characterizes with its own species and carried its story of the original tree happened to be felled. The floor was made from reclaimed marble. And the bar was coated in a paint made from oyster shells and stone minerals.

This restaurant is a collaboration between three-Michelin-star chef Kei Kobayashi and historic Japanese confectioner Toraya. Located on the 11th floor of a building in Tokyo’s Ginza district, it features an open charcoal kitchen, a main dining area, and a private room. The concept is “tradition and innovation.” A distinctive ceiling design transitions from a traditional flat ichimatsu pattern at the entrance to a dynamic three-dimensional structure. An installation of wooden rods and glowing acrylic bars forms a cave-like shape, symbolizing the fusion of tradition and innovation. The ceiling uses hinoki wood in varied lengths to enhance efficiency and minimize waste. In the private room, architectural ductwork is exposed and enclosed in glass to maximize ceiling height within a limited space. This thoughtful integration of materials and design reflects a balance between Japanese craftsmanship and modern creativity, offering a unique dining experience that celebrates both heritage and modern aesthetics.
