Concrete, metal and exposed fixtures were combined with Cantonese craft details and bright neon<\/a> lights to give Chinese restaurant<\/a> Bun House Disco in London<\/a> an industrial party feel.<\/span><\/p>\n

Located at the top of Brick Lane in London’s Shoreditch area, Bun House Disco<\/a> is the sister restaurant of Bun House in Chinatown.<\/p>\n

Restaurateur and designer Z He wanted the new space to have a different feel to the Chinatown site and worked with textural contrasts to create the right energy.<\/p>\n

“Disco is a straight-up clash of the ‘East-meets-industrial’,” He told Dezeen. “We took Shoreditch’s industrial bones and smashed them together with the detail and ornament of Cantonese craft.”<\/p>\n

“It’s the opposite of our Chinatown site, which has the buzzy warmth of a tea parlour,” added He, who founded the restaurants with her husband Alex Peffly.<\/p>\n

“Here, it’s all about juxtaposition of textural energy: neon light on handmade tiles, concrete next to ornate patterns, and a rhythm in the space that matches the beat of the disco playlist.”<\/p>\n

The restaurant, which serves street food including wontons, noodles and custard buns, also aims to evoke the feel of Hong Kong nights through the use of a colour palette with a party vibe.<\/p>\n

“We’ve always worked with red and green \u2013 it’s in our DNA \u2013 but for Disco we cooled the tones, made them sharper, moodier,” He said.<\/p>\n
