2019 AL Design Awards Winner: The Four Seasons Restaurant
A bronze-clad tunnel punctuated by randomly placed miniature LED point lights connects the dining room and bar. The latter offers a moody ambience, with linear grazers recessed into the floor and concealed by air diffuser grilles, highlighting the hand-blown glass beads along the perimeter glazing. Table lamps illuminate the central sunken bar, supplemented by a linear grazer under the countertop.
The restroom entry corridor is defined by a wooden lattice ceiling with an uplit finished wood ceiling beyond. Perimeter light fixtures concealed within the trellis frame create an unexpected, magical moment.
