The purpose of the study by Studionoh was to design a restaurant that could be seen as a reminder with a strong element of tropical vegetation. The site is located on a busy hub in the region with a lot of traffic and noise.

Introversion, as a way of designing, was selected with plants that on the one hand hide the interior space achieving the desired privacy and on the other hand allow the view of the adjacent square.

The plants in this cocktail bar by Studionoh work as a sound-reducing means, creating a sense of calm in a heavily charged environment.

The architectural study sought for elements that along with dense planting will determine the identity of the site. The basic materials used are wood (American walnut) and marble (Tinos). The structures of all the lighting (bar/ceiling and the marble face) are mainly handmade, giving a sense of individuality in the field.

The single wooden roof with its 3-d prismatic elements connects the individual functional units of the restaurant.
The triangular shape used for the design of the roof is transferred as an idea into the bar, with a key combination of materials as wood and marble inspired by pine cone surfaces.

The contrast of these two materials (soft-hard, cold-hot) creates a harmonious coexistence through their plasticity.
