DESIGN STATEMENT

The restaurant is gloomy, needs to be more energetic and dynamic (colours, better circulation, lighting, furniture, finishing). The second space should be open and should be welcoming. So the back wall should be more visible (decorative lighting, colour, focal point, transparent furniture). This space should be cosier (lighting, lower ceiling). Materials should be warmer, now generally are concrete and stainless steel and space is very cold (colours, textures, materials).

The project then basically should focus on finishing and lighting. For the colour I can start with Viola (purple) and I can use triadic or tetrad scheme.
