Get Started
Inspired by the natural, unmanicured landscapes found along the streets of Korea, this restaurant landscaping project at National Gallery Singapore explores the contrast between organic nature and refined design.
Rather than creating a highly manicured garden, we wanted the outdoor landscape to feel naturally established, as though the plants had grown into the space over time. Drawing inspiration from the roadside greenery commonly seen outside Korean barbecue restaurants, the planting composition embraces irregular forms, varying heights, and natural imperfections.

Three custom planter boxes were designed along the restaurant's windows, introducing layers of live trees, shrubs, and grasses that soften the architecture while creating a connection between the dining space and its surroundings.
Lava rocks, inspired by Korea's volcanic landscapes, were incorporated into the microlandscaping to introduce texture and depth. Arranged organically among the plants, the rocks recreate the character of a natural Korean roadside landscape.

In contrast, the glass-enclosed terrarium positioned at the heart of the restaurant takes on a more refined and restrained design language. Featuring a sculptural faux tree, carefully arranged rocks, and a minimal composition, the installation reflects the cleanliness, precision, and meticulous processes practised in the restaurant's kitchen.

To complement the interior, we also curated two potted plants in modern, handmade Korean Moon Pots. Selected for their suitability for indoor environments, the plants draw inspiration from greenery commonly seen in contemporary Korean restaurants, bringing a familiar yet understated expression of Korean design into the space.
Together, these elements create a balance between the spontaneous beauty of nature and the discipline of Korean culinary craftsmanship. The result is a restaurant landscape that feels both natural and considered, bringing different expressions of Korean culture into the dining experience.
