RESTAURANT | OTTAWA | 2024

PROJECT IMAGES BY ULA PHOTOGRAPHY & KEVIN BALENGER

The restaurant interior is a sophisticated and modern space, where rich, earthy tones and sleek design elements converge. The focal point is the striking ombré wall, which transitions from a deep burgundy at the top to a soft, glowing gold near the bottom, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The seating features plush, deep green velvet banquettes that curve around the room, offering both comfort and intimacy, while the circular design at the center adds a sense of cohesion to the space. The wooden chairs with curved backs and leather seats introduce a subtle contrast with their reddish-brown tones, complementing the darker wood of the tabletops. The lighting is soft and ambient, casting a gentle glow that enhances the vibrant yet soothing color palette.

The bar space is dominated by rich, terracotta-red walls that create an inviting, cozy atmosphere. The seating is bold and eye-catching, featuring a mix of patterned banquettes and upholstered chairs in a deep red-orange hue with intricate geometric designs. The bar area is a focal point, with a sleek, black frame that contrasts beautifully against the red backdrop, and it is lined with a well-lit display of bottles, adding a lively element to the space. The use of large mirrors helps to open up the room, reflecting the dynamic patterns and enhancing the sense of depth. The original hexagonal floor tiles in dark gray provide a neutral base that anchors the vibrant colors above, while the minimalist black pendant lights add a modern touch without detracting from the overall warmth.

The overall design exudes a sense of understated luxury, making it an ideal setting for an elegant dining experience. Small details, like the hanging planters and textured wallpaper, introduce a subtle layer of complexity, making the space feel both sophisticated and full of character.
