The intent is to create a suitable home for a brand that takes a feminine name engulfed in florals.
Spread across two levels, this 4,800 sq.ft. restaurant opens up to a beautiful rooftop filled with trees and plants, offering relief from the notorious lack of greenspace in its dense city fabric.
The daylight gushing in through the curtains on the lower floor or the sun’s rays cutting through the rafters on the terrace floor add a peculiar kind of drama at different times of the day. The shadow play enhances the scale and adds depth to the otherwise monotonous surfaces. Ava hopes to be
