"With the concept of ""FOOD, DESIGN, and BELIEVE,"" Cuisine de Garden BKK is a modern cuisine restaurant where every detail is inspired by nature. Following the success of the first branch located in Chiang Mai Province, the chef and team have planted the second branch at Ekkamai Soi 2, Bangkok, Thailand.

The project was renovated from a modern art gallery and now acts as a restaurant. The structure and the old, gigantic tree in the backyard were preserved. Since the main theme of the atmosphere is aligned with the concept of the recipe as ""Nature Inspired,"" the designer presented the aesthetic sense of nature through an imaginative garden by capturing and bringing the beauty of the natural outdoor atmosphere into the restaurant.

The restaurant design is meant to be an escape from the buzzing city, indulging visitors in an imaginative garden. Once visitors step into the place, they are greeted by different sizes of real trees that were selected and planted freely, similar to random seating arrangements. These design approaches create not only a relaxed atmosphere, like dining in a real garden, but also generate the perfect space between seating.

At the back of the restaurant is the highlight space, designed as a bar called The Firefly Bar. Bringing back the designer’s childhood memories when the city was full of abundant nature, tiny LED lights were freely installed under the ceiling, where the black color was perfectly painted to create the illusion of a dark sky. This brings about the effect of fireflies glowing in the sky.

Moreover, every material was selected based on natural elements such as wood, stone, and gravel to generate the natural outdoor atmosphere.

For the lighting design, as the designer intends to create two different types of atmosphere serving different functions, adjustable downlights are used to spotlight the tables with warm white light, while cold white light is projected onto the trees. This approach creates the effect of moonlight, lifting the natural outdoor atmosphere of the space. Visitors will feel as though they are dining under the trees on a starry night while simultaneously embarking on a nature-inspired culinary journey. All of these elements are based on the belief in the beauty of nature."
