Going underground

He decorated the first restaurant by himself, and it soon became a popular haunt for young people to dine and share photos on social media.

For Eye By Meeting Someone, the entire interior of the building had to be renovated from scratch, so Wang invited interior design company WAY Studio to help him put his ideas into practice.

After having his building plans overturned twice and being forced to make endless changes to the details of the design, the restaurant was completed by the end of 2017 after six months' hard work.

"Every step toward realizing my ideas was a difficult process for both the design team and the construction team," Wang says.

According to Wang, the curved exterior wall takes 160,000 red bricks to sculpt. The construction team printed out 380 individual blueprints measuring 20 meters long each detailing how to position each brick. "All the blueprints are still in the wall," says Wang, who personally customized all the green leather chairs and marble tables for the restaurant.
