The restaurant is situated in a building named “50%Cloud”, which follows the design languages of red brick architectural complexes in the town while at the same time subtly incorporating Art Deco Style to maintain its own unique identity. Without a single steel bar or nail, this “utopia” built on red soil is completely composed of local red bricks and blends into nature.
半朵云整个建筑本身就如同一个巨型的艺术装置，外壁浑厚，曲线圆润，层层叠叠，凹凸有致，如同天边绵延起伏的半朵云彩。
The building looks like a mega art installation and half of a cloud that undulates in the sky. It features solid facades, curved contours and volumes set at staggering heights.
CCD pays attention to the design of the building entrance in every project, this one is no exception. Inspired by the terrace in Yunnan Province, CCD ingeniously took advantage of the architectural form and gave it a new look.
The interior space extends the natural curves of the exteriors, characterized by large-span arches and lofty ceilings. Round openings are carved out on roofs, in order to let daylight filter in. Natural light sources throughout the building are evenly distributed, and people in it can feel the interplay of daylight and cloud shadows.
Design concept: light highlights the existence of all things
“氛围生于光，空间成与光，建筑述诸于光；我们的眼睛生来只看到阳光下的建筑，阳光和阴影揭露了这些造型，建筑是捕捉光的容器，就如同乐器如何捕捉音乐一样。”——柯布西耶
As Le Corbusier said, “Architecture is the masterly, correct and magnificent play of masses brought together in the light. Our eyes are made to see forms in light; light and shade reveal these forms. ”
Light is an essential element in the space. CCD guides, plays with light, and cleverly brings it into the building, where guests can experience the change of light in every minute.
Design approach
设计要素：因光而布置，所有设计都置身于建筑天窗底下，感受着光因时间的流逝，在建筑内部而有不同的体验。
All design elements are arranged based on light and under skylights. Natural light tells the passage of time throughout the day, and creates diversified spatial experiences.
设计元素：提取建筑的弧形线条，应用到整体的空间。每一件物品都如艺术品存在。入口硬朗的钢板通过曲线的形式引导客户进入空间里面，也开始为质朴的空间注入艺术气息，引发想象。
CCD team extracts the curved lines of the building and applies them to the entire interior space. Every article in the space is an artwork. The curved steel panel at the entrance leads guests to enter the interior, while adding an artistic touch to the space and evoking imagination as well.
Besides, the thriving greenery inside enlivens the dining atmosphere. Natural light casts onto rough bricks, which are well matched with soft lighting and tasteful furnishings, together producing an environment that encourages guests to interact with space and nature. The overall interior design turns dining into fantastic multi-sensory experiences.
Artwork design
如像素化艺术雕塑，灵感来源自云南弥勒佛手；网状的头脑，象征着弥勒劳动人民的智慧；抽象的云雕塑，象征着无限组合可能。
The pixelated sculpture draws inspiration from the tourist attraction “Buddha Hand” in Mile City. The woven artwork looks likes a human head, which symbolizes the wisdom of local people. In addition, the abstract “cloud” sculpture implies infinite combinations and possibilities.
