Nested on the upper level of a shopping plaza, Rubik was conceived as a young but elegant eating place. Design was to develop an experience that built upon Merida’s new wave of high quality gourmet restaurants; the project maximized the environment by using the full width of the area and placing the bar as a focal point at the end corner concealing the service corridor and pulling the view to the back of the restaurant. The metal feature counter on which the drinks are prepared serves as an oasis to its thirsty customers.
