Restaurant · Manhattan, New York

A two-storey restaurant with a bar on each floor, designed by American designer Aaron Kirsten in 2017. I joined the project as an associate and had the opportunity to develop many of the interior details independently, from materials and finishes to shapes and decorative elements, while working within Aaron's overall design direction.

I had remarkable freedom to explore materials, colours and shapes, including immersing myself in Mexican culture and finding ways to bring its character into a sophisticated New York bar atmosphere. Sourcing materials from around the world made the process as exciting as the result.

One of the most inspiring and creatively rewarding projects of my career.
