Cheese Dairy Restaurant | STUDIO SHOO

The flagship Cheese Dairy restaurant is uniquely situated in a two-storey house. The idea of Cheese Dairy restaurants is built around homemade cheese and everything related to it. At the entrance, the first thing to instantly see is a bar and kitchen counter fixed with milk-white tiles, which gives an opportunity to keenly observe food preparation. For a kitchen fit out, the team carefully chose thin cross-sections of tree trunks to be properly fixed in a white panel. In the absence of sharp edges and corners in a restaurant, advantage is taken by smooth and bionic lines.

The team’s devoted attention has been given to the textures – velvet stucco walls, natural wood textures for furniture, large ones for fabric, solid oak floor and porcelain lighting.

Solid oak tables, bent wood chairs, shabby plank flooring, shelves with wood logs, handmade clay water jugs and vases, sculptural candle holders near the fireplaces – all of them were created to evoke some well-known feelings for Cheese Dairy ’s guests.

Warm white colours of milk, lush greenery, terracotta clay water jugs naturally became an inspiration for the new restaurant’s interior design. We wanted to collaborate with the countryside style, so well-recognised as Cheese Dairy, and at the same time, to underline the ambience of this historical building. Which is why the team has unanimously chosen the actual tree trunk textures to create collages with the addition of perfectly white smooth surfaces.

There are round tables for a large group of friends on the first floor, and also by the windows, a French sofa has been properly placed with an opportunity for table rearrangement. Upstairs, we have two working fireplaces; one of them was renovated according to the team’s specific instructions and a well-known David statue’s head was installed in the very first Cheese Dairy brewery factory.

Simultaneously, bright tones of the historical building’s interior collaborate with point colour accents. Deepening shades of mustard yellow, chocolate and greenish colours represent exquisite combinations with antique walls. The maximum of daylight penetrates the windows, instantly making the space bigger while reflecting from white walls. In a high ceiling room, minimalistic decorative porcelain lamps are in use to create warm accent lighting.
