Shape the arrival
The proposed curved bar welcomes the eye and organises waiting, service and the first view of the dining room.

01 / The starting point
A place to understand.
Uses to question.
The dining room was bright but cold, with little intimacy and no clear arrival sequence. The bar turned its back on the entrance and poor acoustics made evening service uncomfortable.
02 / The intention
What the proposal
seeks to resolve.
Create a strong, enduring identity, improve acoustic comfort, simplify service and offer several atmospheres without reducing the number of covers.

03 / The design direction
An atmosphere conceived
as a continuous thread.
The project is organised around gentle curves that wrap around the existing column. Smoked oak, ivory plaster, rose-toned stone and burgundy seating create a deep warmth without theatricality.
04 / The design decisions
Precise choices,
connected to a use.
Every choice responds to the starting point and shows how KAMILI connects layout, use, light and materials.
Create different intensities
Window tables, banquettes and alcoves offer several ways to experience the restaurant according to the hour and the group.
Correct the invisible
An absorptive ceiling, fabrics and ribbed surfaces are proposed to reduce reverberation, subject to an appropriate acoustic study.
Prepare the build
The proposal identifies prototypes, approvals and interfaces to anticipate before a programme is agreed with contractors.
05 / Initial state & proposal
Compare the starting point
with KAMILI’s intention.
These visualisations form part of a spatial study. They develop an initial state and a design proposal; they do not document a completed project.
06 / The intended quality
A clearer response,
in use and atmosphere.
The room is designed to change character through the day: bright at lunch, more intimate in the evening and organised to ease service circulation.
Nature of the study
Spatial studyAn independent study developed by KAMILI to present a design process and point of view. It does not document a completed project.Designer’s note
“We wanted to create a place remembered for its feeling rather than for one spectacular gesture: the softness of a curve, light across plaster, the right distance between tables.”
