The restaurant’s space is a complex form with floor-to-ceiling windows around its perimeter. Working with such a form presented both advantages and difficulties. On the one hand, the picturesque windows made the restaurant’s interior highly visible from all corners of the shopping plaza, which allowed us to attract diners into the restaurant easily. But on the other, it was a challenge to place the kitchen zone in a way that would highlight its best features yet conceal all the unsightly day-to-day processes that go on behind the scenes.
