Architecture studio Paperfarm has transformed the Old New Taiwanese Cuisine restaurant in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, following damage from a typhoon. Instead of restoring the building’s faux-historic facade, the design incorporates 1,080 rippling red metal panels that create a dynamic dialogue between the past and present. This new facade symbolizes the restaurant's identity, emphasizing authenticity while showcasing Taiwanese culinary heritage. The installation of the perforated panels offers efficiency and resilience to natural disasters, enhancing the restaurant's urban presence with a design reflecting the essence of flame, cooking, and local identity.
The bold transformation of Old New Taiwanese Cuisine features a vibrant red metallic facade that reclaims its identity and enhances its connection to Taiwanese culinary heritage.
Replacing the faux-historic wooden screen, the new design by Paperfarm emphasizes authenticity and a refreshing urban presence through a rhythmic facade evoking flames.
