Wild Rocket Restaurant / PRODUCE

Posted in Architecture - Restaurants by * FORMAKERS

The new WILD ROCKET has a little story behind it.

© PRODUCE
Its founder, Chef Willin Low, was studying law overseas when he began his culinary career hosting and cooking for homesick friends.

© PRODUCE
His experience gave us the idea of modelling the new Wild Rocket after the traditional Japanese teahouse (chashitsu), a space which the Japanese built to host guests for tea gatherings.

© PRODUCE
Like a chashitsu you would see in Japan, a garden path (roji) leads you to the restaurant’s entrance.

© PRODUCE
But we did not intend to just replicate the physical features of a chashitsu.When you enter the restaurant, you will notice an intricate timber lattice structure that extends from the interior to the exterior.

© PRODUCE
The alcove (tokonoma), a private space where tea gatherings are held, becomes a private room with a “tunnel perspective” door feature.

In your seat, you will have full vision of chef Willin Low, who will prepare your food in a space (mizuya) that sits prominently in the centre.
