T<\/span>he famous Ling Ling restaurant<\/a> occupies a privileged space in Mexico City, on the top floor of one of the tallest skyscrapers on Paseo de la Reforma avenue. The restaurant\u2019s goal is to create an attractive and versatile ambiance that invites guests to extend their stay from day to night, enjoying a relaxed experience together with the best views of the city.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The restaurant\u2019s interior design concept started out with the idea of creating a space recalling the grand courtyards and terraces characteristic of Mexican architecture. One of the greatest challenges in the project design was how to generate the sensation of being in a courtyard on the 56th floor. The response was a formal approach and design process using structural elements and construction methods to help blur the boundary between architecture and interior design. The idea emerged to create a triple-height space with a portico structure and lush vegetation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Employing an extensive palette of vegetable hues and light as the driving force of the entire project, the restaurant unfolds as a site filled with character and texture, both inside and out. With that in mind, each space and room responds directly to the desire to enhance the views and experiences offered.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Surrounded by exuberant vegetation, the terrace becomes the true heart of the project, creating an environment hard to imagine on the 56th floor of a corporate skyscraper. This space benefits from the triple height and corner location to surprise guests with a glazed atrium structure offering 270\u00b0views across the city.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Alternatively, the inner salon and dining room are enclosed within a vaulted structure built using wood stereotomy techniques, highlighted by gentle illumination, and fitted out with purpose-built furniture.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

At the tail end of the Atrium, Ling Ling\u2019s semi-private dining table can be found, rightfully named, Table Tres 60. Table Tres 60 accommodates up to 10 people offering 180-degree-plus views of the urban metropolis. The table is positioned within a unique corner of the restaurant and creates the feeling of \u2018floating above the city\u2019. Table Tres 60 is sure to become the most highly demanded table reservation in all of Mexico City.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Overlooking Ling Ling\u2019s Atrium dining area is a larger-than-life original work-of-art mural hand painted by Mexican artist Paola Delf\u00edn. Named \u2018Guardian of Nature\u2019 and inspired by Xochitl the goddess of beauty, flowers and love, the mural represents the importance of diversity and a fusion of Asian and Mexican cultures. The main elements in the mural are agave and lotus flowers; plants of great importance both socially and spiritually for both cultures. These elements surround the main character, who is shown as a protector of nature, accompanying diners to enjoy this small natural oasis, in the middle of this bustling metropolis, Mexico City.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The client\u2019s openness to ideas gave rise to a design process that included experimentation with the brand's logo, resulting in the creation of a wooden structure for the screen of the main lobby. This element is an example of how architectural design can become part of brand image.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
