Marked out by ceramic tiles, a walkway operates as a buffer zone, where waiters and guests move between destinations. Its importance is underlined by its decorative character. On the guests’ side, the orientation is outwards, where translucent curtains, sliding along a copper rod, curate the connection with the city. Under the mezzanine, the kitchen has an inner architecture derived from the industrial box. Filigree metal shelving systems hang left and right from the central preparation island and hover over counters. A drywall closes the third view, providing a different section, or layering of elements that unfold into high seating at the dining bar.

Upstairs is accessed by a wooden staircase whose delicate character provides a new counterpoint. When viewed from different vantage points, the installation appears in new lights. An architectural moment of ascending the open stair, and peering down from the balcony, is created to compensate for a very compact plan demanded by economics of precarity in gastronomy.

Warm materials copper, wood, ceramic, and leather fuse with amber-hued lighting. A lowered ceiling is offset from the plan and manages to express itself with acoustically perforated panels. The restaurant is thus determined to be elegant, without radiating exclusivity.
