Jing is a contemporary Chinese restaurant situated in the vibrant heart of downtown Singapore. It is located in One Fullerton building, surrounded by iconic landmarks on Marina Bay (home of the F1 Singapore GP street race circuit); an impressive location to enjoy the ever-changing scenery of this city.
The restaurant is placed in a 3400 sqft unit with a full south east view of Marina Bay. It is subdivided into two main activity areas: 1000 sqft back-of-house area (kitchen, staff room, and office) and 2400 sqft dining area (main hall, two private rooms and powder room).
The kitchen layout responds to Chinese cuisine preparation processes, and was planned, catered and designed prior to the rest of the restaurant. With this area locked and technically solved the dining area was envisioned to be an unobstructed space, with clean lines under a neutral color palette, which will serve as canvas for the accessories, furniture and golden ceiling.
Due to heavy technical requirements for mechanical ventilation and air conditioning systems, two pockets, flanking the main hall, accommodate the equipment and ductworks. This technical situation conditioned the full height of the space, giving birth to the geometrical decomposition of the ceiling as well as a dramatic expression of the interior experience.
Volcanic stone slabs (900mm X 1200mm) flood the place with homogeneous color and texture. The light panels are modular rice paper stretchers, back-lit by warm white dimmable LED ribbons. The ceiling is built with gold painted micro perforated calcium silicate boards, and above them, fiber acoustic materials minimize the noise impact of a full house evening.
The furniture brings the nostalgia of China in the 1930s; luxurious velvet on the red palette, dress the chairs and banquettes, delicate wood detailing on tables and stools. A microfilament hand woven carpet from Colombia, catwalks from the entrance to the table.
