Alfresco Restaurant | YODEZEEN Architects

The whole project of the Alfresco restaurant is a real summer trip to Italy. The facade of the building itself looks very inviting in its soft eggshell hue and crisp lines of stucco. And the uppermost material of the project, rustic travertine, builds up a domestic comfort of a sunny country and performs an enchanting function inside the restaurant.

Entering the reception, you meet the first feature of the space: the wine room located behind continues with wine shelving. This shelving stretches almost the entire wall of the main hall, becoming the unusual manifestation of the Italian courtyard's openness. The Italian atmosphere reigns here at every turn, but classical accents are also inherent – we made stucco molding on the walls of the small dining space's hall.

The architects created a two-level fountain inside the courtyard. In the hot summer, eight small fountains shoot up and play the role of sound therapy, as well as moisten the environment. The fountain is one of the most important accents of the project, so it can be seen from all dining areas, and in the evening it is flooded with pleasant lighting. Finally, it goes under the covered patio and thus escorts the guest there.
