this space - concept by Gregory Gatserelia Design - consists of two floors dividing several functions under one roof. the elevator entrance to both areas is dominated by a web-like structure made of glass and copper. both spaces are dominated by the use of untreated copper that ages with time and contact.
the ground floor, serving as the main restaurant, is allocated the concept of flying saucers in its ceiling, as to allow guests into an outer-world experience. the dim lighting is provided by led strips on the upper back of the disks that cater to the warm, cozy atmosphere desired. the disks are complemented with projectors for accent lighting on each table, permitting optimal comfort for guests.
the upper floor, also serving as a restaurant, turns into a club late at night. therefore, the untreated copper ceiling is garnished with slightly recessed led strips incorporated into the existing gaps, in an unconventional way, creating a game of light and darkness. the hidden DMX controllers installed allow several scenes and feel within the same design. moreover, pending custom-made tubes with projectors sneak down from the ceiling, providing accent lighting for tables and passageways. to balance the light in the space, candlelight like fixtures hang on the wall for a discrete and soft lighting effect.
