The Uptown is an international cuisine restaurant at the heart of the city, located in one of the busiest streets during the day. The design was derived from the basic concept of motion and light, taking in considering the linear movement while passing by the parallel street. By introducing linear reflective metal pieces on the main interior wall, the space would give back a dynamic reflection to the passing by costumers. On the other hand, the interior colors were chosen to be monochromatic in order to balance the textured wall. Yet, the furniture pieces were left to stand out with their natural wood color to complement the dark tones of the space. Completed with costume-made tiles that allowed an efficient usage of wasted marble, it gave the space a crafted pixilated floor pattern.
