Rice home, a Hong Kong based restaurant, offers a new experience in the city of Guangzhou, China. The newly launched casual dining brand has a unique restaurant design by AS design inspired by beehive. Irregular hexagons define the space of the restaurant underlined in a rich palette of yellows over a black background. The hexagons form a dynamic scene in both 2 and 3 dimensionality, surprising visitors once entering the restaurant.

Yellow lighting is integrated in the hexagons highlighting the yellow hexagons to form a warm and comfortable environment. A curved wall features a bowl-shaped sculpture with yellow hemispheres emerging from it creating a sense of food aroma and arousing guest’s appetite.

Anastasia Andreieva is an accomplished Architectural Projects Editor at Arch2O, bringing a unique blend of linguistic expertise and design enthusiasm to the team. Born and raised in Ukraine, she holds a Master’s degree in Languages from Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv. Her deep passion for architecture and visual storytelling led her to transition from translation and editorial roles into the world of design media. With a keen eye for conceptual clarity and narrative structure, Anastasia curates and presents global architectural projects with precision and flair. She is particularly drawn to parametric and digital design, cultural context, and emerging voices in architecture. When I’m not analyzing the latest architectural trends, you’ll probably find me searching for hidden gems in cityscapes or appreciating the beauty of well-crafted spaces. After all, great design—like great connections—can be found in the most unexpected places. Speaking of connections, because architecture isn’t the only thing that brings people together.
