UBS Canteen

dai transformed a former Talbot garage into a staff restaurant for UBS, designed with the central concept of unifying art and architecture. Contrasting interplays between natural and industrial materials, as well as between light and dark draws the attention of the guests to the heart of the room: the glass art of Bernhard Tagwerker. The liberal use of wood paneling balances out the more somber palette of dark grays and whites, and contributes a warm, human-scaled ambience to the canteen.
