Kytaiskyi Pryvit (China Hi) is a Chinese restaurant in the historical center of Kyiv. The task was to connect modern minimalistic design with authentic Chinese decoration elements and lighting, as well as to adjust traditional Chinese design to the modern requirements of young progressive local and foreign guests. 

The biggest challenge was to tailor the exterior and interior to the historical and cultural surroundings. Challenges for the interior were to keep a fragile balance of authenticity and modern style and to create a cozy space for both youth and families with children.
