The design of a modern-traditional style restaurant combines the elegance of classic elements with modern creativity in a refined and harmonious blend. This approach not only represents a new design trend but also preserves and celebrates cultural heritage while providing guests with a comfortable and convenient experience.
The integration of traditional elements such as tiled roofs, columns, and classic patterns with modern materials and techniques like glass, steel, and concrete creates spaces that are both rich in historical culture and aesthetic appeal while incorporating the conveniences of contemporary life.
The exterior architecture of the SAY & NƯA restaurant, designed by BSA Design & Build Firm, makes a strong impression from the first glance. The blend of traditional materials like wood and stone with modern materials such as glass and steel, along with vibrant color coordination, creates a striking and unique façade.
SAY & NƯA stands as a work of folk art harmonized by modern touches that fit current trends. This design beautifully combines past and present, adding a captivating flair to the dining space. SAY & NƯA expresses the rich cultural values of Asia, particularly Vietnam, presenting the beauty of Eastern culture to international guests.
Intricacy in Every Interior Detail
Stepping inside, the interior showcases the fusion of traditional and contemporary design elements. Here, material selection and arrangement play a vital role. Natural wood, bamboo, rattan, and stone are used for surfaces, walls, and floors, providing a warm and inviting ambiance. The walls may feature lacquer paintings or folk art that reflects cultural heritage. Additionally, modern elements such as LED lighting and minimalist metal and glass furniture are thoughtfully arranged to balance the old and new.
BSA recreated a nostalgic atmosphere with traditional tiled roofs complemented by large glass windows, preserving the classic style while adding a sense of openness and modernity. Carved details on pillars and eaves are simplified to fit the minimalist contemporary trend, yet still retain the essence of traditional architecture.
The restaurant’s layout is intelligently divided to ensure privacy for each group while maintaining a spacious and airy feel. The main dining area may feature large tables for groups, with modern wood chairs paired with traditional details like carved patterns. At night, a mix of traditional lanterns, chandeliers, and modern LED lighting creates a soft, warm, and romantic ambiance. This project’s standout feature is its bold color scheme—reds, yellows, oranges, and greens—strikingly coordinated to add a touch of individuality without overwhelming the space.
