STAR ART HOME is a children’s space of multiple functions dedicated to creating a family-friendly restaurant & art exhibition & fun. In the designing idea, real estate owners’ requirement and children’s instinct for play were combined and a storyline of outer space adventure was determined. Such idea aims at releasing the nature of kids and endowing them infinite space for imagination. The impact of dining environment on the physical and psychological health of children was also paid attention.
Arc – flexible, ethereal and diverse
Architect Gaudi once said that the line belongs to humans and the curve belongs to God. We subtly blend the arc elements into the design, striving for the fluidity and separation of space, building a natural warmth and natural beauty for the children’s living space.
Leave blank – cultivating personality
In order to highlight the subjectivity of children, we choose a simple method. The main theme of grey matched with woody color and bright French Window, enlarging the activity space for children.
Light and Shadow – Inspiring Curiosity
The change of light and shadow maybe very common to adults. In a small dark space, everything is so fascinating that attracts children’s attention and guides them to explore.
Sculpture – Perceiving and Creating Beauty
The plentiful spatial form of lighthouse, semi-circular cave and bridge make the room more like a sculpture space. The simple materials which were delicately constructed by the designer’s team present to children a creative space with visually impact and tell the story of beauty to them.

Axonometric drawing
Space of 700 square meters directly integrate the play into the restaurant.
For children, there exist their favorite play facilities including sea ball pool, slides, building blocks, trampolines, suspension bridges and dark space. Playing here is like searching through zealous routes and seems to unlock each area. For parents, relax is watching the dynamics of babies in the restaurant through 360 degrees wide view at any time.
Art Exhibition Area
It is very important for children to have the ability to perceive and create beauty from an early age.
But more important than this is the cultivation of children’s aesthetic ability. We need to know that the ability to appreciate beauty is more important than the ability to create beauty. How could a person who does not appreciate beauty can create beautiful things?
So how to cultivate the aesthetic ability? The easiest and most effective way is to take your child to the art exhibition.
Central kitchenette
Let your baby know the food culture and related knowledge the cooking process in different area of the world, developing the creativity of children and cultivating children’s patience, concentration, observation, thinking, handling ability, creativity and imagination. Encouraging children to try new things.
