Heimat.
Heimat, which means “home”, paints a unique homey vibe side-by-side with the other establishments in Lan Kwai Fong. Celebrating Germany’s tradition and history with its menu choices, not to be outdone is the Heimat’s urban feel, which reflects the chef’s modern approach to well-loved dishes.
Chef Peter wanted a space where his childhood dishes and flavours can be reinvented for an elevated market and palate; To recreate the sense of home the designer studied icons of German Architecture.
Considering the traditional Hausbarn structure - the concept of the family living upstairs and the farm animals downstairs. The restaurant’s parquet floor and the open kitchen reflect this barn concept.
Fast-forward to modern, clean lines and elegant Architectural form. The design is was inspired by Mies Van Der Rohe's Barcelona Pavilion. The private room uses stone finishes, and the dining tables are designed with an aerodynamic cantilevering quality that reflects German engineering.
The colors are a fun mix - Muted blue, navy, grey, beige, black, brass, and dusty orange. A mix of masculinity, but overlayed with a sense of playfulness and joviality.
