The design for Mumu Hot Pot at Oakridge focuses on creating a warm, approachable environment that supports the social nature of hot pot dining. Rather than leaning on overt symbolism, the space is shaped through clear spatial organization, consistent material language, and an emphasis on comfort and durability. Lime wash finishes, light wood tones, subtle fixtures, and a restrained color palette establish a calm yet inviting backdrop, allowing the dining experience itself to take center stage. Seating layouts are carefully planned to accommodate both small groups and larger gatherings, reinforcing the communal rhythm of the restaurant while maintaining a sense of intimacy at each table.

Material transitions and lighting are used to define the restaurant as a distinct destination while remaining visually open and accessible from the exterior. Custom millwork, thoughtful detailing, and a balanced mix of textures lend the space a crafted quality that feels intentional and refined. Overall, the design balances practicality and atmosphere—creating a comfortable, well-built environment that supports daily operation, reinforces the brand’s identity, and feels cohesive within its broader commercial setting.
