Contemporary, atmospheric fit-out breaks with traditional Korean restaurant design
Key surfaces were painted in Resene Blackjack and Resene Black White in the interior design of this Korean restaurant The Buffet
A thriving restaurant not only has great food, the decor also plays a big part in repeat custom.
The brief to Blacktree Architects and Designers for The Buffet was to break with classic Korean decor and create instead an industrial, edgy feel.
The design is set up so diners enter between two private dining rooms with the main buffet display straight ahead, clad in perforated red metal. Continuing the industrial accent, the restaurant's private rooms are black and the original concrete floors were retained. For warmth, macrocarpa was used as a partition wall.
And as part of the drama, the doors and ceilings in the restaurant are finished in two contrasting yet complementary Resene colours. Both are available in a range of paint finishes, including durable Resene Lustacryl for trims and joinery and Resene SpaceCote Flat for interior use, including wet areas.

Christchurch’s recovery from its two major earthquakes was never going to be a quick fix. But slowly and surely new projects are being completed and life is being injected back into the city. In this edition of Commercial Design Trends, we take stock of some of those projects – the Innovation Precinct, Vodafone, Kathmandu and Burwood Hospital. We also showcase two buildings that break out of the mould of how large commercial buildings are usually designed.
