A long booth seats 18 with flexible arrangements, while two round booths for 8 feature movable screens for privacy. Private rooms include restrooms, ensuring seamless service and an intimate dining experience.
 
 UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
 The long booth's highlight is the owner's treasured painting, Pisilian by Paul Chiang, enhanced by a professional lighting design that amplifies its vivid colors and depth. A 'frame-like design' between the ceiling and walls accentuates the artwork and dining table, elevating the dishes to an art form. The entrance is another key feature, designed as a 'two-stage'; journey. A winding path builds mystery and anticipation, aligning with the reservation-only model. Guests then ascend steps from reception to the main dining area, adding a ceremonial touch that enhances the luxury dining experience.

 RESEARCH ABSTRACT:
 The brand aMaze is a Chinese restaurant with a contemporary Western fine dining style, inspired by the owner's love for classical tastes and art. Art Deco elements, including wood patterns, distressed mirrors, and stone, create an elegant atmosphere. The entrance's winding path fosters a refined welcome, while stylish steps add a sense of ritual. Floor levels align for smooth service, and each booth has a private restroom. The highlight is Pisilian by Paul Chiang, showcased with expert lighting. Every detail enhances the journey, ensuring guests leave with a lasting 'Wow! Amazing!' impression.
 
 CHALLENGE:
 Located on the ground floor of a commercial building, the venue's design adhered to regulations and specific building guidelines. The original exterior was completely dismantled and replaced with Iron Moss, a Spanish stone, cladding the facade. Departing from traditional front-facing access, the entrance was repositioned to the side, featuring tiered stone flooring and curated landscaping to guide guests. This approach creates a subtle yet elegant exterior, perfectly aligning with the brand's concept of delivering an amazing, refined experience that builds anticipation before entering the stunning dining space.
