PRIVATE DINING ROOMS
The Private Dining Rooms are each a different color, framed by lacquered custom screens. The decadence of Chinese culture is evident with the northernmost room  historically the most auspicious  the most elaborate.

SUNKEN COURTYARD
The project site is actually a courtyard house re-built where one used to stand, with a parking garage trenched below. For this reason the structures are considered "semi-historical." As commentary on this recent demolition trend and disregard for historic preservation, the first courtyard was hollowed out and opened to the level below, resulting in a physical lowering. Glass was then installed to create a reflection pool filled with water, a peaceful setting in memory of courtyard houses long gone.
