The story of the project

The name of the place sets the theme and the project carries it through without decoration: pale timber, living green and warm light. There are no pictures on the walls and no decorative objects — the atmosphere comes from the materials and the planting.

The room is divided into zones by furniture rather than partitions. Curved timber planters separate the banquettes from the circulation, and a fluted column marks the entrance to the main service area, working as a landmark from anywhere in the room.

The seating types were sized for different kinds of traffic: a curved banquette for groups, square tables for pairs, one long communal table and a high counter at the window for guests who stay only briefly. The same room serves a quick lunch and a long evening.

Lighting works in two layers: track spots for the general wash, and exposed-bulb pendants dropped close to the tabletops over the seating. In the evening the general layer is dimmed and only the pendants remain — the space contracts without anything physical changing.

Materials and details
  • Pale matt timber — furniture, planters and cladding
  • Fluted column in vertical timber battens
  • Green upholstery in two shades
  • Living planting as the principal colour
