The programmatic concept is to design a restaurant with a series of small dining rooms with different character that can be used simultaneously by different clients and for different reasons. This organization of spaces has been quite successful.
Our atelier has also designed and built several restaurants in the N.Y.C.
Some of them are Bondi Café Centovini I Trulli Bar Pitti Toscana Lievito and many others that due to the fast moving culture in the profession have in time, been partially renovated, changed ownership and finally closed.
The food industry in New York City has a formidable presence. Restaurants can be found at every street corner and are both a necessity and a cultural , social phenomena. There is a constant demand for new ideas , new ways to present food or indirectly educate the potential customers with new forms of aggregations between diverse culinary traditions.
The Design of a Restaurant in New York City represents a real challenge due to the presence of very different ethnicities in the city that offer to the general public all kinds of foods and cultural imageries for their successful design.
Restaurants are used as places where one can meet others , socialize, discuss business propositions or simply rest both mentally and physically for a limited period of time in between stressful daily urban actions . In a sense, restaurants are civic institutions as well as places of urban entertainment . They serve in fact a public function in their almost capillary distribution in the city grid and allow communities of various cultural background to express their heritage or lifestyles through their production and presentation of food.
