BEYOND

The interior is conceived as an open, layered environment with a clear structure and a strong sense of character — a space where everyday experience is given a richer, more elevated interpretation.

Verticality plays a defining role throughout the project, establishing rhythm and creating a connection between the interior and the city beyond. Two distinct types of columns appear within the space, each introducing its own emotional and spatial layer.

The first are sculptural plaster columns with a soft, fluid quality reminiscent of heavy fabric frozen in motion. They capture and diffuse light, creating a subtle sense of movement throughout the interior. These forms engage in dialogue with the architecture outside: beyond the panoramic glazing, the urban plaza and canopy reveal their own cadence of vertical elements. Interior and exterior echo one another while maintaining contrasting identities — softness and tactility inside set against the sharper geometry of the city outside.

The second dominant feature is a series of textured columns produced through 3D printing using recycled plastic. Their relief-like surfaces reference natural formations — an abstract “green canyon” embedded within the space. This introduces a more graphic and structural layer, adding depth and contrast to the overall composition while reinforcing the project’s material experimentation.

Special attention was given to details that connect the interior to its architectural context. The circular perforation of the kitchen’s metal panels directly references the building façade and surrounding architectural elements. This gesture creates a sense of continuity, as though the interior extends the language of the building inward, translating it into a more intimate and tactile scale.

The color palette is built around warm, saturated tones: terracotta, honeyed wood, muted greens, and soft natural neutrals. The interior feels composed and tactile, with a strong emphasis on material presence. Contrasting textures intensify this effect — smooth surfaces sit alongside relief-like finishes, while soft textiles are paired with stone and glass.

Materiality becomes one of the project’s primary design tools. Textured stone contrasts with polished metal, velvet upholstery softens reflective surfaces, and sheer drapery tempers the scale of the floor-to-ceiling glazing. Light further enhances this layered atmosphere: during the day, the space dissolves into natural daylight, while in the evening it shifts into something more intimate and almost cinematic.

The layout unfolds as a sequence of spatial experiences. The interior is never revealed all at once; instead, it gradually opens through changing perspectives, lighting conditions, and varying densities of seating. The guest’s movement becomes a subtle journey, alternating between open communal areas and more intimate moments along the windows and banquettes.

Beyond balances architectural rigor with a sense of softness and sensuality. Ultimately, the interior brings together structure and openness, contrast and comfort. It functions as an everyday space, yet one with a distinct identity — vibrant, expressive, and slightly beyond the expected.
