Project Planning & Execution

CHYIHAUR Team

Orange Shabu Shabu House's Taichung location rises as a standalone building designed by renowned Japanese architect Paul Noritaka Tange, its exterior layering restrained stone with Oriental bamboo-grove motifs to convey the brand's warm, refined character. Signage on architecture this considered cannot simply be "hung on"—CHYIHAUR weighed every factor from structural assessment and regulatory review to lighting angle and architectural proportion, making the signage part of the building itself.

"Details convey the art of hospitality."

Project Background & Challenges

Orange Shabu Shabu House is a flagship name in premium hotpot, and its Taichung location—a standalone building—marks a new milestone for the brand, the architecture itself a meticulously designed work. The exterior signage had to honour the architectural vocabulary: communicating the brand identity clearly within the urban streetscape while never disrupting the composed atmosphere built from the stone facade and bamboo-grove elements. Signage on a large building's exterior also involves structural assessment, regulatory review and on-site construction conditions—every step demanding precise judgement.

Facade Presentation

Designing signage for the exterior of a large building is no simple matter. From structural assessment, regulatory review and on-site construction to lighting angle and architectural proportion, every step calls for precise judgement. Working with Orange Shabu Shabu, we upheld the same spirit of treating every detail with care, letting the brand's composure and warmth be seen in physical space.

Design Goals & Strategy

We set the goal as letting brand identity and architecture coexist: the primary identity uses a large seamless metal round sign fabricated in stainless steel and aluminium alloy, its rounded form echoing the brand's warm character; the lettering is rendered as Channelume channel letters paired with a halo-lit light box, front and back dual illumination keeping it refined by day and softly glowing by night. Built to a chain-rollout identity specification, this approach can carry through to the brand's future locations.

Orange has always held to the utmost art of hospitality and detail quality; behind every dish lies precise mastery of time and temperature. With that same standard, we created the identity signage for the Taichung location's building exterior—

Project Outcome

On completion, Orange Shabu Shabu House's Taichung location saw its signage merge seamlessly with Paul Noritaka Tange's architecture: the large seamless metal round sign reads clean and crisp against the stone facade, while at night the halo-lit light box casts a warm glow—design fidelity reaching 100%. The brand's art of hospitality extends from the cuisine to the building exterior, so every visitor senses Orange's refinement before stepping through the door.
