Ministry Of Crab Restaurant Lounge

The Twin Towers on Jiaozi Avenue in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, have
become one of the most popular landmarks in the last two years. Situated
right on Jiaozi Avenue, BOX·MOC looks out to the Twin Towers in
distance and enjoys a superb view.
Ministry of Crab, a Sri Lankan brand that has been honoured as Asia’s top
50 restaurants for the last few years, is now in Che
ngdu and looking forward
to winning more customers and business. The restaurant is divided into two
storeys, with the ground floor serving as the bar and the first as the
restaurant.
The design of the bar focused on concepts. We wanted to create a f
ree and
trendy place that is also special and memorable on Jiaozi Avenue. We have
incorporated the wings of the archangel that support the entire first storey
and make it the focal point. The specially designed illumination makes the
wings come alive, whic
h seem about to take flight, and adds to the bar’s
versatility and dramatic tension.
As the restaurant on the first storey enjoys plenty of natural light and a good
view of the Twin Towers, we decided not to block the view with any
additional elements.
Instead, we focused on creating a shell-shaped ceiling,
which is decorated with a stand-alone illumination device. The entire ceiling
is lit up and the exterior appears translucent and exquisite, making
BOX·MOC stand out on Jiaozi Avenue.
