A Cuban-Asian fusion restaurant featuring an ARNY Designed interior of a 1950’s Havana meets industrial Brooklyn opened in Spring 2020 in an East Williamsburg warehouse conversion.
Inspiration for the interior design was pulled from the surroundings and the existing building. Many of the original industrial features remained, such as the concrete flooring and exposed wooden beams. Walls were finished in a sparkling limewash and gold leaf accents. A Havana- inspired distressed mint green plaster wall connects the bar back wall to the restroom corridor, inviting an outdoor feel.
It was important for the interiors to feel lived in, like long time design elements- from the faux finishes to custom furnishings. In keeping with “old meets new”, the central lounge features a custom cut circular marble mosaic embedded into charcoal colored grout, as if it were uncovered from beneath the cement flooring.
A variety of seating defines the areas, and a set of circular custom sofas provide stage-front intimate seating. Smooth white curved oversized soffits along the perimeter conceal pipes, and provide a refined look to the up lit, original exposed wooden beam ceilings. A vertical living garden cleans the air and brings some tropical nature inside.
With elements of an industrial Brooklyn as highlights, including artful murals, an appreciation for the custom and handmade, the old-world Havana inspiration and design provide a guest experience of timelessness and architectural permanency.
