The restaurant is visually anchored by a white liquor display spindle around which a zinc-clad, linear space-form defines the entry, frames views, and wraps back upon itself to define multiple sub-spaces. A stalactite-inspired light fixture of red acrylic tubes defines the geographic center of the space and creates compositional tension with the white spindle, which marks the restaurant’s centrifugal center. At the take-out counter, a “red carpet” of floor tile welcomes the traveler and wraps up the wall to announce entry and accentuate the space between the beginning and end of the zinc-clad space-form.
