Golden Unicorn Buffet

Richmond, United States · Buffet restaurant environment

About the project

Golden Unicorn Richmond combines buffet stations and varied seating with a theatrical interior. Warmly lit food displays, clear station signs, black-and-gold surfaces and orange-grey booths form the main setting. Branching timber ribs, blossom decorations and circular coloured screens create memorable visual moments. The unicorn identity at the facade connects the arrival experience with the display-rich interior.

A reading of the space

Design approach

Distinct landmarks help a large dining environment remain readable. Buffet stations and signs organise the food experience, while sculptural columns and blossom features create focal points. Circular screens give booths a degree of privacy without fully enclosing them. Warm lighting connects the dining and display areas into one visual sequence.
