Without a doubt an incredible dining experience for wine-lovers, our design of this building aimed to highlight their massive selection with the island bar taking center stage. Additionally, due to the restaurant creating unique seasonal dishes, the kitchen needed to be highly functional to support a menu which changes four times a year. As part of the message of a transparent dining experience, the kitchen is visible from the dining area, necessitating an appealing aesthetic. Lastly, design details such as the wicker lighting fixtures and blue tiling were intended to reference the farm-to-table strategy of Seasons 52. With our firm’s help, not only the food and wine will seem fresh to visitors, but also the emotional impact of the interior of the built environment.
