Huit Sushi

Nowadays, stability is no longer the dominant market factor; architecture and interior spaces are increasingly required to embrace flexibility. Huit Sushi is a contemporary Japanese restaurant located in Montreux, Switzerland. The interior is structured around two intersecting walls — one in polished metal, the other in illuminated acrylic — which divide the space into four main zones: the open kitchen, dining area, cocktail bar, and waiting lounge. This cross-shaped composition allows for intuitive circulation while subtly separating functions. Patrick Graf Patrick Graf Patrick Graf Patrick Graf The design embraces a restrained yet precise interpretation of Japanese spatial logic, where atmosphere is creat... More

Restaurant KIKU

Intimate atmosphere, elegant simplicity and subtlety are three indispensable components of a restaurant. For KIKU restaurant project we have chosen to create an elegant interior in loft style. Bare brick, rough concrete and wood were ennobled by scenographic lighting and fine textiles. We used glass railings in order to give ephemerality to the premises. We have focused on the right partitioning and neutral colours, underlined by warm light. Thus, we have separated the bar area from the rest of the hall by means of lighted shelves that serve as a separating element meant to provide privacy. We totally excluded the opulent details in order to give the premises the atmosphere of peace and comfort necessary for both morning coffee and a dinn... More

Santo Restaurant

In the block that was once the heart of the arts district of the city of Porto, represented by two iconic buildings of the architectural spectrum of this city, the Batalha cinema and the S. João National Theater, is located the restaurant Santo. Both its name and the design of the space itself arise from several reinterpretations of the context in which it is located. The theatrical character of the entrance is marked by a brightly lit visor that goes back to memories of the grand entrance to the cinema of the 50s associated with a great social spirit that is intended for this space. On the inside we find a bar in a curved shape as a reference to the Batalha cinema facade. The presence of wood logs at the entrance indicates somet... More
