Restaurant

Phuffle is conceived not merely as a restaurant but as a symbiotic blend of architectural and interior space, offering a holistic experience that integrates art, architecture, space, and people. Drawing inspiration from the fluidity and social dynamics of a public staircase, Phuffle captures the essence of connectivity, transforming it into a unique social platform.

Located in the bustling metropolis of Ho Chi Minh City, the most populous city in Vietnam, this restaurant project aims to create a unique atmosphere that feels close to nature, starkly contrasting with its urban surroundings to attract diners. Inspired by the native tropical rainforest, the design offers a serene, refreshing experience that connects people with nature.

Beef Club is the radical refresh of a beloved eatery in Autostadt, the automotive theme park at the headquarters of Volkswagen Group in Wolfsburg. The new design offers two different dining rooms for different kinds of atmospheres: a joyful social area in the front that overlooks an outdoor terrace and an elegant private area in the rear where small groups can gather for celebrations or more confidential meals. At the center of the pub is the theatrical preparation of food on a grill – the menu of Beef Club features both grilled meats and vegetables. An open brick fireplace is located where everyone can see it, recalling the power of an archaic fire at the center of a shared dining experience.

Sebastian Rossbach and Marco Barth have opened their pizzeria 22k in the venerable halls of Peter Behrens’ tobacco factory, built in 1925-39 as Austria’s first steel skeleton building in the New Objectivity style. The two award-winning chefs (Rossbarth restaurant, also designed by destilat) are opening a casual culinary playground in the “Falk building” of the radically functionalist industrial building and the interior design should be just as cool. 

Ramencraft is more than just a restaurant; it’s an architectural and gastronomic experience that bridges tradition with modernity, bringing a new dimension to Prague’s restaurant industry.

Reden Cafe & Bistro is an impressive space with a bold combination of vibrant red tones and an antique-style wall design, accentuated by modern furniture that creates a captivating and artistic image. The design of Reden is not just a cafe, but also a unique architectural piece that reflects the limitless creativity of the architect.

A Tale of Buckwheat, “Memil Danpyeon” – Buckwheat is one of the grains that receive scant mention in Korean literature, which predominantly centers on aristocrats. This is because its unsophisticated character was often associated with a rustic flavor. However, due to its robust vitality, the buckwheat stood out as a cherished staple, enabling commoners to endure harsh winter and hardship in the past.

“303” is an Italian restaurant in Shirahama town, with a picturesque view of Engetsu Island, a symbolic attraction in Wakayama prefecture, Japan. Originally, it was refurbished from a guest house once operated by the client’s family. Shirahama boasts the most stunning beach in the Kansai region, where visitors can immerse themselves in a landscape seamlessly blending with the sea. The town lies gracefully along the coastline, reflecting a deep connection between its residents and the ocean. This local affinity with the sea inspired my design approach.
