If architecture was a ramen bowl! The concept for Clever Ramen was to use raw, true materials that bring warmth and life to the space while representing their food values of quality, craft, and raw ingredients. We wanted to bring plant life and warmth into the project, but also let the design and function of the space lean heavily on technology. Our design challenge was to not let technology make the project’s design become cold or lack character. Working with our millwork partner, we developed the curved plywood ceiling and wall using a parametric software that allowed us to control the shapes. From the software, we directly sent the parameters to the CNC machine for accurate cuts, quick turnaround, and limited waste to under 5%. The program also gives us the ability to calculate material and CNC time so we can give the client cost options during design.
