Silver A' Design Award Winner 2022
This refined hospitality interior exemplifies the contemporary synthesis of biophilic design principles with Mediterranean-inspired aesthetics that has emerged as a defining characteristic of elevated casual dining environments in recent years. The spatial composition demonstrates considerable sophistication in its orchestration of natural and architectural elements, positioning lush tropical vegetation as both visual anchor and atmospheric generator while maintaining the clean geometric precision associated with contemporary minimalist practice. The chromatic approach, dominated by warm cream tones accented with botanical greens and cool gray-blue upholstery, suggests an understanding of color psychology's role in creating environments conducive to relaxation and social connection. The overhead pendant installation, comprising clustered white spheres of varying scales, functions simultaneously as practical illumination and sculptural focal point, introducing organic compound curves that echo the biomorphic qualities of the surrounding plant life. The fluted wall treatment at left demonstrates attention to tactile visual interest, its vertical rhythm providing counterpoint to the horizontal emphasis of seating arrangements. Typography integrated into the feature wall establishes brand identity while contributing textural complexity through its elegant letterforms and multilingual inscription. The overall effect achieves that elusive quality of effortless sophistication—spaces that feel simultaneously curated and spontaneous, designed yet organic. The work invites consideration of how contemporary hospitality environments function as carefully constructed theatrical settings for human interaction, where every material choice and spatial relationship contributes to an immersive sensory experience that transcends mere functionality to become a form of environmental storytelling.
Tarentum is a place designed in Ancient Greek style with Greek food and whisky lounge. When night falls, it transforms into a whisky bar, where people can have a drink in a comfortable and private atmosphere. The facade of the interior space of the building is warm ivory-colored cement. The design is represented with gentle cream tones to make people feel relaxed. Gray leather sofas and blue satin cushions echo the blue tone of the windows, as if a touch of blue on the Mediterranean Sea. Gray-blue marble textured tables and blue velvet cotton seats give a special touch of delicate detail.
