Terrakota | Unveiling designs with a sense of relaxation
The restaurant has two parts. The inside area sees the existing warehouse renovated in a sensitive manner, where old structures are refurbished and reused. A new terracotta wall wraps the walls of the kitchen and dining space and continues out into the ‘secret garden’ a roof courtyard surrounded by lush planting and covered by a retractable roof, which opens up to allow views of the sky.

An open layout is implemented to promote the flow and interaction within the space, with the intention of creating a social gathering area. Solid walls are replaced by glass curtain walls, fostering a connection with the urban surroundings, sky, and nature. The attention is shifted from monochromatic interiors to vibrant green plants, infusing the space with liveliness. The furniture and decor reflect the hues and textures of the natural environment, incorporating tactile elements such as cotton, linen, oak, leather, and ceramics.

A terrace seamlessly extends from the open interior to the exterior of the building, visually expanding the indoor space. Surrounded by a lush garden, it creates an ambiance of relaxation and serenity, where one can effortlessly unwind and find solace.
