In a time of uncertainty and fear perhaps you need a little fantastical beauty to brighten your day. Imagine passing your social isolation soaking in the tub then wrapping yourself up in a luxurious robe to sit beside the fire finishing your toilette.

This restaurant would catch my eye in an instant if I was walking by. The floor alone would have me walking in and asking for a table 🙂 Sapiens Est Kitchen & Bar in Moscow designed by architectural bureau Golden Heads.

Goals:  To create a bright, memorable interior that reinforces the name SAPIENS, which refers to “intelligent man”, for whom communication is important. The space was supposed to allow guests the opportunity to talk peacefully with one another and encourage making new acquaintances.
Solution: The restaurant was divided into 2 rooms.  A bar area with a guest table connected to the bar counter was placed in the first. Whitish brick walls, contrasting with a geometric floor pattern and a vivid mural on the ceiling, made the interior bright but neat. The high ceiling made it possible to augment the first room with a balcony for private events. The second room with its soft seats and subdued lighting is closer in functionality to a restaurant. Here, those who want a more relaxed and intimate atmosphere will be comfortably accommodated. We emphasized the name of the establishment with the help of an ironic art piece: five figures decorate the wall along the stairs to the second room demonstrating the gradual development of man – from pithecanthropus to homosapien.

A lot of us are compelled to stay home in these dangerous times. Others have no choice but to go out into the big, bad world to help others or keep the wheels turning. I can’t use my usual spiel about being dragged into work on a weekend yada, yada, yada. I’ll just share this stylish workplace instead. Coppin Street Studio by Pitch AD. Stay safe.

“layer colour, pattern, texture and a curated mix of old and new for a unique & playful spirit”
“We are inspired by the natural world, and aim to enhance this connection in every interior, not only in the selection of materials, but with a focus on maximising light & space wherever possible”
“We are not trend seekers…..we do not take ourselves too seriously, and enjoy adding a dash of whimsy and surprise where and when we can.”
All of the above is what makes the spaces designed by London based design firm Cat Dal Interiors so captivating. And fun!

Allison Crawford did a fabulous job designing this downtown Austin, Texas industrial loft to create a masculine and comfortable space despite it being wrapped in concrete. Hip yet totally functional with some pretty sweet views! (Styling and photos by Alyssa Rosenheck for MyDomaine)
