Conceptual Design
Project Description
The architectural concept for RIN (translation: full circle) Restaurant addresses canyon-like space between two existing structures in Beverly Hills. The Brutalist 1950s concrete structure there is deconstructed to reveal light-weight cantilevered steel and glass elements. On the ground floor, an open-air garden/lobby greets guests and anchors the restaurant to the streetscape. Guests would then ascend to an outdoor roof garden on the mezzanine level before ascending higher to the intricately arranged dining level. Programmatically, this upper floor includes three separate kitchens and four dining areas. The minimalist architecture and interior design reflect the centuries-old tradition of fine craftsmanship and elegant simplicity with indoor and outdoor environments melding seamlessly into each other.
