Hanok Restaurant is a contemporary luxury Korean restaurant created for a business-class audience that values restraint, quality, and atmosphere over ostentatious design.
The concept reinterprets traditional Korean sensibilities through a modern architectural lens. Rather than direct references or decorative clichés, the interior relies on proportion, texture, and spatial balance. The result is a calm, confident space where heritage is felt — not displayed.
The project is built entirely on natural, high-end materials: warm wood, stone, textured plaster, refined metals, and tactile finishes. Each material was selected for its authenticity, longevity, and sensory presence. Luxury here is quiet — expressed through detail, craftsmanship, and precision.
The style can be described as modern minimalism with subtle ethnic undertones. Cultural references appear softly in patterns, screens, silhouettes, and layered surfaces, allowing the space to remain contemporary while preserving a strong sense of identity.
Lighting is treated as an architectural element. Soft, diffused, and layered, it enhances textures, defines zones, and creates an intimate yet open atmosphere — equally suited for business meetings, private conversations, and relaxed dining.
Hanok Restaurant is designed as a timeless interior: refined, composed, and deeply atmospheric — a modern expression of Korean culture translated into a luxurious urban experience.
