The restaurant of the author’s cuisine “Birds” has opened in Ufa Design 08.03.2022 The architects of the PRSPKT_Architect bureau sought to create a soft, enveloping environment that would not distract guests from the most important thing — the kitchen Photo Natalia Gorbunova OBJECT PARAMETERS Property type: Restaurant Where is located: Ufa, Lenin street 75 Square footage: 361, 62 m2 Style: Intelligent design The main idea of the project: to create a laconic interior filled with very subtle and memorable details Color scheme: light ochre and pearl tones The authors of the project: Yulia Musina, Alexander Safarov, Alina Shagieva, Daria Osipova, Ekaterina Selezneva, architectural bureau PRSPKT_Architect, prspkt.ru , @ab_prspkt Photo Natalia Gorbunova The restaurant “Birds” is focused on dishes of the author’s cuisine. Every detail is thought out here – from the composition of dishes to table setting and menu design. The main task of the PRSPKT_Architect team was to ensure the interaction of the visitor with the space and staff. “The interior was supposed to be a backdrop, not an exhibit, but a lively and attractive backdrop,” the architects say.

The brickwork of the first floor with low windows remains of the historic building. All window slopes are equipped with spectacular lighting, which creates pleasant lighting indoors and attracts the attention of passers-by on the street. Another preserved detail is the brick arch that greets guests at the entrance to the restaurant.

In addition to various fine details, such as brass elements and lighting, the mural attracts attention. Opposite is a huge mirror. It completely reflects the staircase and cages with small hummingbirds, which react to the slightest breath of air and begin to spin.

According to the same principle, we have located the VIP lounge on the ground floor.” Photo Natalia Gorbunova Photo Natalia Gorbunova Photo Natalia Gorbunova A lot of work has been done with color. “Especially for the hall on the ground floor, we came up with a wall covering with unusual stains resembling traces of a flood, and for the upper hall, delicate wallpaper with the effect of scuffing and light golden strokes were made. To bring down the glamour of the interior, we decorated the ceiling with black prints that look like traces from a glass. The same technique is used in the VIP area. We supplemented the huge crystal chandelier with black tubes, turning it into an art object.” Photo Natalia Gorbunova Photo Natalia Gorbunova Photo Natalia Gorbunova Original content from the site
