Challenge and goal

• Create an intimate atmosphere in a room with hard surfaces and high ceilings.
• Ensure efficient service flow between kitchen and dining room.
• Use materials that age beautifully and withstand wear and tear.

Solution

Materiality

We chose a palette of raw wood, linen and ceramics to give a tactile feel.

Lighting strategy

Spot lighting above the tables creates a room-within-a-room feel and intimacy.

Acoustics

Integration of hidden acoustic panels and textiles to dampen the sound level.

Results and effectst

• A fully booked restaurant where guests stay for a long time.
• A work environment that works smoothly for the wait staff.
• A clear connection between the food on the plate and the design of the room.

”The design captures the soul of our cooking – honest, natural and warm.”
— Owner, Bistro Dterra
