The project began in the end of 2022 with the brief including refreshing the existing space while giving a new contemporary feel, create a show stopper space, put an emphasis on the connection with the garden, incorporate the brand’s image with focus on the dark colors. During the six months of project development our strategy was to bring light and warmth inside, create a connection with the nature, create a better user experience, incorporate a wow factor in the shape of the “brass clouds” which reinterpret the nature element and reinforce the brand’s image. In the following six months of implementation, we faced challenges such as unexpected building consolidation, inserting large HVAC equipment, having communication issues with the construction team, working ourselves on some custom pieces in order to ensure the desired aspect is achieved. We were glad to discover that the client was open to our ideas and trusted us during the entire process, and was making sure the design directions are being followed on the work site. He is enjoying increased financial productivity after the completion of the project and the Ciao Ragazzi restaurant is now a landmark for the location.
