"It was an incredible chance for me to collaborate with the Marriott International brand and the Galaxy group to build a new, iconic destination in a fast-growing city. When designing, we had to consider brand standards, history, and the country's particular flavour. One of the key objectives was to design a restaurant that would appeal not only to hotel visitors but also to city dwellers," says Shushana, interior and furnishing designer and proprietor of STUDIO SHOO.
"Each hotel we work on has a unique narrative and provides a fresh source of inspiration, yet they are all unified by shared brand values. At the same time, the design approach should be independent of trends. In this particular instance, I was influenced by colours and earth tones such as terracotta, ochre, rich burgundy, and brick. I also wanted to engage with natural materials such as rattan, dried flowers from the Armenian fields, marble, and copper."
The restaurant's gastronomic direction is Mediterranean and Middle Eastern. The interior encompasses soil, sea, and the environment in general. At the restaurant's entryway, the visitors are met with an open kitchen featuring a vibrant burgundy pizza oven. Arriving guests may see every step of the food preparation process.
We developed multiple types of sitting places for the restaurant, including round and square tables, an oval communal table, chairs with comfortable sofas and bar seating. The restaurant's interior design features complex tones of warm terracotta and vibrant burgundy, as well as soft and delicate natural green and blue.
