Estonian Architecture Award 2015 - NOA Restaurant Story by Thermory Estonian Architecture Award 2015 - NOA Restaurant

Estonian Architecture Award 2015 - NOA Restaurant

Thermory as Manufacturers

Noa restaurant is overlooking the silhouette of Medieval Tallinn and located on the picturesque coast of the Baltic Sea.

Thermally modified wood was chosen for NOA as an excellent material where the resistance and durability is united with the beautiful and natural structure of real wood. The thermally modified wood joins the visual contrast to one coherent whole. Thermory was chosen for the project because of the high quality of flooring and exterior materials, as well as because of openness and flexibility to design new profiles and solution to such a demanding project.

NOA Restaurant

PANZERI as Domino

NOA Restaurant is one of the most appreciated restaurants in Estonia. It is a seaside restaurant which offers to its guests the opportunity to savor a dinner and marvel at the stunning view of Tallinn Old Town silhouette across the bay. The exclusivity of the restaurant made it unavoidable to choose the perfect lights to do justice to the elegance and the warmth of the place.

 

For this reason NOA committed Panzeri to light up the VIP area. A cascade of golden-leaf Domino lamps are hanging above the tables, enlightening and adorning the seaside front dining room. The warm light seeping in through the blown glass is magnified by the golden-leaf finishing. The result is an evocative and touching sensorial effect.

 

Furthermore, the peculiar shape of the diffuser – either empty or full, depending on the point of view – allows an intricate play of light, which perfectly match with the breathtaking starry sky visible from the huge glass wall.
