THIS DESIGN IS CONCEIVED AS AN OPEN AND FLEXIBLE
INTERIOR LANDSCAPE ENCLOSED BY AN UNDULATING WOVEN
CEILING PLANE. THE OPEN LAYOUT IS DIVIDED BY A SERIES OF
SCULPTURAL PRIVATE DINING ROOMS WHICH BREAKUP THE
SPACE INTO SMALLER DINING SECTIONS. TWO LARGE FLOOR
OPENINGS CUT INTO THE CENTER OF THE SPACE CREATING
DOUBLE HEIGHT SPACES THAT UNIFY THE TWO DINING LEVELS.
THE CEILING DESIGN IS PATTERNED AFTER THE KNOTTED ROPE
LINES OF THE BANU RIVER MEN AND CREATES A UNIFYING
ELEMENT TO THE SPACE WHILE ALSO ACTING TO CONCEAL THE
STRUCTURAL AND MECHANICAL AND LIGHTING SYSTEMS. THE
CEILING EXTENDS TO THE FAÇADE WHERE THE GEOMETRY IS
EXTRUDED VERTICAL TO CREATE A SECOND SKIN FOR SUN
SHADING AND CREATES AN ICONIC GRAPHIC ELEMENT TO THE
STREET
