Dosan Precision explores the subtle connection between a precision factory and a dining bar, drawing inspiration from this combination to create a unique space.
This connection can be found in how small components complete a machine's motion and how small ingredients complete a dish, emphasizing the shared values of engineers and chefs.
As a dining bar, Dosan Precision offers high-quality cuisine using carefully selected ingredients. Chefs treat even small ingredients with great care and attention, similar to how small components are meticulously crafted in a precision factory.
Dosan Precision's interior incorporates features typically found in factories to reflect the industrial elements. Metal structures, steel oxygen, and elaborate pipe designs evoke a factory ambiance but transform it into a modern and sophisticated dining experience.
STRUCTURE AND DETAILS OF DOSAN PRECISION
The detailed elements of Dosan Precision emphasize an industrial feel and functionality, making the space unique and innovative.
To enhance the factory-like texture, wall surfaces were naturally ground, directing the gaze toward a factory atmosphere.
Additionally, the existing tiles on the floor, revealed after removing the old flooring, were preserved by delicately applying transparent epoxy, retaining the floor's texture.
Externally, shutters symbolizing the opening and closing of a factory are installed to accentuate the industrial atmosphere.
Internally, overlapping small components of lightweight wall structures form both walls and the bar. A large table in the center has thick metal plates and H-beams, providing a sturdy focal point.
Furthermore, a grid-shaped raceway suspended from the ceiling enhances the symbolic feel of the space.
Mobile storage cabinets created using shelves and polyurethane wheels maximize utility while perfectly combining design and functionality.
The handle, shaped like a weighing scale for precision measurement, harmoniously expresses function and aesthetics.
The floor signal lines from the factory highlight the industrial ambiance and guide the flow within the space.
Finally, toggle switches and buttons in the factory's control boxes complete the project by encapsulating lighting control and visual representation.
OUTRO
Dosan Precision offers an innovative and unique dining experience through the harmonious combination of a factory and a dining bar.
Precise ingredient selection, industrial design, and the synergy between two worlds turn Dosan Precision into an artistic fusion of space and cuisine.
This project underscores the importance of small components and ingredients, breaking the boundaries between a factory and a dining bar, and offering a fresh perspective.
