The challenge for this space was to overcome the business-like feel of the chrome and glass architecture by wrapping the restaurant with soft light. Fabric panels over the expansive windows were backlit to create a glowing field around the room. A 50′ diameter internally illuminated lamp-shade chandelier adds flattering light and provides positions to spotlight the tables below.

The bar consists of “magic boxes of light” that appear and disappear behind its one-way mirrored façade, and a 3-story wine tower adds sparkle. Together these elements combine to make an intimate space in the middle of its glass and steel surroundings.
