Nodi Coffee Run

September 2021 - February 2022

There is something captivating about Rubik’s Cube. And this is what inspires Unite Unit in conceiving NODI Coffee Run with its multifaceted coloured surfaces and connotation of limitlessness. NODI, literally meaning knot in Latin, is devoted to transforming each of its branches into an intimate community that encourages bonding between people. “We believe it’s the human connection that makes a social coffee space possible,” says NODI’s representative about the brand’s guiding principle. “It’s important to reflect this metaphoric symbol in all our outposts – bringing coffee and people together like knots connecting lines and ropes.”

maison meiji

August 2021 - January 2022

Maison Meiji, a new retro-inspired restaurant housed in a historic tong-lau in Wan Chai, brushes shoulders with the impactful western influences of Meiji Restoration and Taisho period’s ephemeral romantic glamour in a time-travelling experience that showcases the warm and honest flair that once defined the Showa era. Tucked away in a revitalised Grade II building in the secluded Mallory Street, the eclectic dining hotspot serving refined Western-Japanese cuisine is a celebration of an all-encompassing experience of Japan's transformative Meiji era. Most original architectural details of the revered site such as the tactile red bricks and sculptural arches are carefully preserved to acknowledge the building’s heritage and character.

Muta

June 2021 - December 2021

To make a lucrative dining experience possible within the mall’s enclosed basement, the casual restaurant adopted an open, transparent entrance design in favour of solid walls or facades. Welcoming guests are ingenious appointments inspired by intriguing playgrounds and park benches for a rare slice of nature in the city where indoor and outdoor living seamlessly collide. Beyond the generous entrance, an interactive social space divided into three designated zones awaits – a tatami area, a ‘house’ area and an open dining space; to ensure a cohesive story is being told, strategically scattered lush plants are introduced to bring together this sequence of spaces. Adjacent to the kitchen, the former long corridor is now a tranquil tatami zone furnished with torn wallcoverings that strikes a resemblance of Japanese house balconies, reflecting the spirit of escape and discovery.
