Design studio Atelier E has been appointed the renovation project of the Hokkaido Dairy Farm restaurant in Hong Kong. The designers were inspired by local dairy farms and reinterpreted them in vivid colours and wooden timber.
Hokkaido Dairy Farm
To renovate the Hokkaido Dairy Farm restaurant in Hong Kong, Atelier E represented it as an abstract mesh of wooden timbers, strip lights, white as milk and blu as the skies.

Given the importance of the dairy product representing the company’s identity, the interior and frontage design draw elements from a typical dairy farm such as the straws, the pitched roof, the blue sky, the milk, the standalone post box as its inspiration. These elements would also be distributed carefully to coincide with the corporate colours scheme which dictates a 50/30/20 split between the colour white, brown and blue.
A series of timber trusses lined the ceiling in a loft fashion with a number of metal bars linear strip lights to form an abstracted roof and sky for the interior. Some gaps were intentionally left behind and were filled with traditional milk containers acting as shrouds for more artificial lights and mechanical ductwork. The exterior is similarly themed with timber panels and decorated with a relieved metal post box which serves as a takeaway window too.
