Pàng Mèi (Chubby Girl) brand is a noodle bar specialising in "Xiao Mian" a street snack deeply rooted in and originated from Chongqing. Office AIO drew inspiration from the multilayered verticality of Chongqing's idiosyncratic cityscape and its "cyber-age" characteristics rendered by neon lights, rapid urbanisation, foot bridges woven slender high-rise towers and the city's adaptive spirit. Located in a mall in the heart of Beijing, the resulting space not only streamlines practical challenges of a high turnover demand, but does so in a space that speaks to the cuisine's origins and culture.
