The showstopper of the restaurant is the bar and its curved ceiling cove that features a hand-painted mural. A linear LED cove light softly grazes the artwork, enhancing its texture and form. This is complemented by narrow-beam adjustable downlights that provide focused accent lighting, while linear uplights illuminate the liquor bottles and decorative objects displayed on the shelves. The adjacent dining area echoes the lighting atmosphere with a combination of decorative pendants and custom wall sconces, creating a relaxed ambiance. Individual spotlights are aimed at each table, ensuring optimal visibility and an intimate dining experience.
The lounge bar transitions seamlessly from day to night through layered lighting. Natural light and architectural downlights create a bright, airy feel during the day. As evening sets in, vintage decorative fixtures emit a warm, ambient glow, while downlights dim to provide focused illumination on tables and seating without glare. The result is a space that feels vibrant by day and cozy, intimate by night.
