Opening a restaurant business in a rural area is quite a challenge. But I think they make a target market for urban communities. Not the rural community itself.
Rice fields for rural communities are just rice fields. There is nothing interesting for them, especially for places to travel. But business is still business. People are thinking about new opportunities.
So, this is DUSUN PADI RESTO which is built in the middle of rice fields. To attract the attention of visitors who are usually more dominated by city people, a modern design focus is made.
Modernization Is Keep Minimalist
The passage of time is real. Market tastes are always changing. Businesses that incorporate an element of comfort must continue to be creative. Modernization is all about minimalism. Keep it simple. Busy people don't want to strain their minds. Modern people just want everything to look simple for their minds that are already complicated by work.
DUSUN PADI RESTO emphasizes the keep simple but visible elements in their design. Carrying a semi-outdoor theme such as at a garden party, they make their roof look magnificent and become the center of attention.
The shape of their roof does look like traditional houses in the countryside in general. However, they do not use dry leaves on their roofs. They replace traditional things with other roofing materials that look more sturdy and majestic. That's what makes DUSUN PADI RESTO look attractive even though it's in the middle of rice fields.
On the other hand, the grand impression they create in their buildings is their use of lots of classic lighting. They used a large lamp shade structure to serve as the center of attention. A classic, luxurious, and glamorous impression has been successfully created on the ceiling.
Apart from being in the middle of the main space, an interesting lamp shade is also applied to the initial area of the entrance area. The combination of traditional lamp shades, but using iron which is finished with gold color for a modern impression.
Also, in some areas besides the restaurant. And the back area of the restaurant. Used lamp shades that are more classic than some of the previous areas.
At night, the main space in this DUSUN PADI RESTO becomes more interesting. Like a luxurious modernization in the middle of rice fields.
Keep Natural With Natural Stones
Blending in with the surrounding conditions is also important. The use of natural stones is their way to maintain a natural impression on the restaurant building.
Starting from the use of pedestrian paths to the main space in this restaurant. Blending in with the grass, the pedestrian area uses natural rocks that extend horizontally.
For highlighting the main area, they used two large red brick flower pots.
Continuing on the application of the two pillars to define the entrance to another space. The poles also have a pattern of plant tendrils.
Added flower pots with natural finishing on the natural stone material. With the color left to keep natural without finishing the painting.
Material Chairs
A modern impression is also applied to the use of chair materials.
There are chairs using a cushion like a sofa. With the legs still using the wood material. Looks elegant and luxurious.
There is also the use of rattan material, but use synthetic rattan for a longer lifespan. With a table using granite material formed with iron legs.
While on the side of the restaurant area which is more relaxed, more traditional chairs and tables are used. Apply wood texture there.
Overview
It feels good to come to DUSUN PADI RESTO restaurant. combination. A mix of modern buildings but still blending in with a traditional country vibe.
From a distance, DUSUN PADI RESTO looks dashing with their roof structure. Also, their hypnotic lighting.
