Entry Description

This restaurant hidden in the bay area intentionally uses subdued lighting at its entrance to create dramatic visual tension.

The muted lighting emanating from the lights hidden on top of the sandstone wall gives the space a simple, understated vibe.

The Space utilizes a subtractive design with hidden ceiling lights that create a sense of subtle, aesthetic beauty.

We hid adjustable LEDs inside a custom overhead light fixture designed to follow the lines of the bar. At different times of day, the control system adjusts the lighting to maintain a more natural contrast of light and shadow.

The lighting needs for the bar area are met by a lighting system that incorporates diffused lighting casted upward.
The indirect light cast on the specially designed ceiling and downward projecting lighting over the bar have a CRI of 95 and color temperature of 3000K to create a warm, inviting atmosphere.

Subdued lighting gives the private dining room an elegant and relaxing vibe.
The lights hidden behind the seating give the booth a natural definition that adds a premium touch.

The lights in the restroom project downward, while the furnishings create the atmosphere of an art gallery.
