A translucent polycarbonate partition separates the dining area from the open kitchen, evoking the atmosphere of a greenhouse while maintaining visual connection. The originally passage-like layout was reconfigured: one entrance was relocated and the second replaced with a wide sliding system, improving circulation and allowing for additional seating along the glazed façade.
Given the significant takeaway component, extensive storage for disposable packaging was required. Instead of concealing it, a suspended green metal structure integrates shelving and transitions into a rack, making storage a visible architectural element. All fixed furniture elements were developed specifically for the project, including customised display counters with mirrored fronts and a green wall bench with an inclined mirror — both reflecting the interior and visually expanding the perceived floor area.
Durable, hard-wearing materials were selected to withstand intensive use, including hand-laid terrazzo flooring. A combination of precise architectural lighting and decorative accent fixtures ensures both functional clarity and a comfortable atmosphere, while dedicated illumination enhances the food displays. Acoustic comfort is achieved through perforated wall panels with plant-pattern cut-outs and fibrous ceiling boards concealing ventilation systems. Neon signage by Contrast Foundry integrated into the suspended green structure and ceramic graphics by Marat Morik distributed across tiled surfaces function as dispersed visual accents within the interior.
