When you start a new project, you always try to make it as accurate as possible in the place and time. To do this, we usually do extensive research, we necessarily leave for a place and spend there a few days, “breathing” with local air.
In the case of the VIP hall of the new Rostov airport, we stopped on the theme of the nature of the south of Russia, namely the beauty of the spring steppe, full of amazing flowers and herbs.
KOKULO BEACH CLUB is a beachfront Restaurant and Bar surrounded with pines, reefs and canal with its local community, in Khaolak, Phangnga, Thailand. With the panoramic view of the beachfront as a starting point, this project was aimed to create a place that both visitors who come to dine, drink, think or chill at this place, and people who staying in the hotel rooms in the back can both enjoy themselves with this view.
Cucurico represents a restoration and refurbishment project for a churrasqueira (Portuguese chicken grill-house) covering an area of 230m2, located in the LxFactory complex in Alcântara, Lisbon. The area is located within a commercial area, characterised by its industrial past, and spans a broad space with its roofing in iron and glass held up by the metallic pillars that punctuate the space according to a strict geometry.
The brand set the framework of a young and urban language able to serve to leverage an informal and welcoming ambience. Within this scope, this sought to reinterpret the traditional churrasqueira concept as a shared imaginary of Portuguese culture while transplanting it into contemporary times through the choice of materials, colours and furniture design.
With twice the surface area, the coffee shop has been completely renovated, giving it a fresh, welcoming and comfortable new atmosphere.
A bright colour palette distinguishes the new decor. The checked wallpaper recalls school exercise books, the stepped seating and the screens modulate the space over which the lightweight and graphic lamps glide. The bar is tiled with coloured joints.
Particular attention has been given to the research of the materials: marble chip for the tables, brass for the pendant lamps, the fabrics for the cushions made in Senegal by a women’s cooperative. On the ceiling wood fibre panels for soundproofing.
Golden Jet Restaurant is located on the second floor of the newly opened departure waiting area of Chisinau International Airport. Being in a common space with the Air café hall, the restaurant stands out with its facade and a more refined elegant design. Visitors are offered places by the stained-glass window with a panoramic view of the surrounding area of the airport, or by a decorative fencing facade overlooking the waiting room and the cafe.
There is an open bar area to the right of the main entrance. The kitchen and cooking area are combined with the production one of the cafe.

With 252 rooms in a 65-meter tower, the hotel programme has been expanded with a wide range of additional public functions. As the final piece of the Kauwgomballenfabriek transformation, the programme and spatial design of the building are in line with the current developments in the area.
Foolscap Studio was tasked with creating a space that Canberra’s inner-north would value as a genuinely unique hospitality experience – a place to call their own, without journeying into town. The team behind ONA Coffee and The Cupping Room developed a brief that strongly resonated with their own offerings’ principles: confident and specialist delivery of quality products, happy experimentation delivered with flair, remaining approachable and humble. The space warmly and easily transitions from day into night, encouraging guests to linger and treat Highroad as a home away from home.
Franken Architekten developed the interior design for an innovative and modern fresh casual concept – a salad and pizzarestaurant with integrated wine bar in Hamburg. ROK is a new, creative salad and pizza experience, with the guest in the foreground. He can create dishes himself or be surprised by the newly interpreted salad and pizzas. Digital pre-ordering and an exciting and cozy interior design from the kitchen greenhouse to the ROK grandstand to various seating areas make the visit to Rock Our Kitchen an experience. The decor of the restaurant is full of thoughtful details; the kitchen area in the background is called “Glashouse”, the walldesign should remind to the shelves of a barn. The restaurant opened in the city center in 2017.
There is a catchy wordplay in the Pub’s name in Ukrainian, but when translated word-by-word, rather than as an idiomatic expression, it is invariably associated with youth, fun and healthy leafy greens.
The Pub is located in Lviv city center, in a three-storey converted industrial building. Two large rooms on the ground floor and enclosed cobblestone courtyard have been integrated into the Pub’s design.
PUNKRAFT is a craft beer bar just around the corner of a historic pedestrian street in Podol, the Kyiv downtown. This basement spot, packed with craft beer fans these days, used to host a cocktail bar.
