The BLUFISH restaurant in Beijing, China was designed by SODA Architects to resemble an underwater world. The 210 square meter space uses a blue and pink colored metal mesh ceiling and white curved walls to create different dining areas including a waiting area, dining space, kitchen, and washing area. Decorative elements like mosaic tile floors with sea creature patterns and colored metallic ceiling patterns further enhance the underwater theme.
