Jīng Fáng 精房 ; A minimalist ode to mythic China, reimagined through the lens of Black Myth: Wukong
Conceptual Restaurant Interior — Inspired by Black Myth: Wukong
As interior designers, we often draw inspiration from culture, nature, and narrative. Jīng Fáng 精房 is the synthesis of all three — a modern Chinese restaurant concept informed by the atmospheric worldbuilding and visual poetry of Black Myth: Wukong, reinterpreted through a minimalist, contemporary lens.
Rather than literal motifs or overt theming, the space seeks to embody the spirit of myth: shadow, elemental beauty, ancient materiality, and a sense of quiet transcendence. The design language focuses on restrained elegance, where every material, surface, and transition is treated as a narrative device.
From the moment one enters, the reception area acts as a ceremonial threshold — a place between realms. A sculptural brass form echoes the silhouette of Wukong’s staff without naming it, while foggy ambient light and stone textures evoke the sacred mystique of high mountain temples.
The main dining area is expansive yet intimate, defined by rhythm and flow. Dark wood and polished stone anchor the space, while abstract lighting forms mimic drifting clouds or celestial energy. The furniture is deliberately low-profile, allowing spatial gestures — like a central mural in brushstroke abstraction — to breathe.
In contrast, the private dining rooms are elemental sanctuaries: one inspired by stone and shadow, another by firelight and bronze, a third by wind and movement. Each room tells its own quiet story through light, tactility, and silence.
The bar area introduces sculptural organic elements — a tree-like centerpiece, a glowing monolith bar, backlit resin — suggesting an ancient grove hidden within an otherwise structured world. Cocktails are presented like relics, crafted with precision and mystery.
Even transitional spaces are designed to hold emotion: hallways feature textured plaster, dim lighting, and slow spatial compression to evoke the feeling of moving through mist or memory. And in the restrooms, soft brass details and ink-wash murals maintain the thread of reverence and reflection.
Jīng Fáng is not a themed restaurant — it is a story told through material and shadow. It is a place where Chinese tradition, digital fantasy, and spatial artistry converge — inviting guests not only to dine, but to wander between worlds.
