PROJECT DETAILS

The first North American restaurant within the international Aqua Restaurant Group franchise, Hutong NYC is a Michelin Star Northern Chinese dining experience in Midtown Manhattan. The 17,000 square foot restaurant is the 23rd restaurant within the Aqua franchise, and the second to be designed by the UK-based bespoke luxury interior design firm, Robert Angell Design International. Inspired by the Art Deco capital of the world, the design melds smooth lines, geometric shapes and opulent materiality to create this anti-traditional elegant dining experience. 

The scale of the project required concurrent phases to be constructed simultaneously, in addition to the complexity of the scope which needed to be completed before finished surfaces were installed. This required phased installations which were supported by digital fabrication, allowing components to be fabricated separately and align with digital accuracy on-site. This project was carried out under the executive leadership of our team during their prior employment and is not directly associated with Bauvik inc.
