Suite 115

It’s no question that you’re in the right place at Suite 115, a hidden cocktail bar in Toronto, Ontario. Defined by its moody glow, Atelier Sun designed the space with intimacy and traditional bar culture in mind. “We wanted to find the sweet spot between mystery and warmth” said principal, Andrew Sun, “it’s a space that ignites people’s curiosity.” Joel Esposito The bar is fronted by a lounge that faces the street. At dusk, a vibrant red glow spills out from the lounge, signalling the bar is open. This space appears to have captured the afterglow of sunset, reflecting the streetscape back in rich orange and red hues via a large, gradient mirror. Patrons can see their own reflection comb...

Chill & Co

This project involves the renovation of a three-storey building in the port of Serifos. The building previously did not adhere to the local architectural tradition and had been abandoned for decades, gaining a reputation as a landmark of "ugliness." The main challenge, therefore, was to transform the building into something fresh, vibrant, and clean, erasing the memory of its negative image. Vangelis Paterakis Vangelis Paterakis Vangelis Paterakis Vangelis Paterakis On the double-aspect ground floor, an all-day café and bar restaurant has been designed, with views from the open terrace overlooking the port and the small, protected backyard.

KATARA Beach Club

Katara Beach Club & Restaurant, Krabi Katara Beach Club & Restaurant, located on the pristine shoreline of Krabi, draws inspiration from the region’s striking natural phenomena.

THE PLATFORM

Just like the literal meaning of a train platform — a place where you get on and off a train — this space was designed to offer an escape from the complexities and fatigue of daily life, as if you were momentarily embarking on a journey. Yoon Taehoon To capture the feeling of leisurely sipping a drink at a quiet train station somewhere in Europe, we used aged brick walls, vintage finishes, and nostalgic signage that evoke the charm of an old railway stop. Yoon Taehoon The gentle sound of a drink being poured, the rich aromas that linger in the air, and the new tastes and textures that unfold with every sip — we wanted to create a space where visitors can unwind with a slow glass of whiskey and peacefully close...
