With locations around the world (Montreal, New York, Athens, London, Dubai, Singapore and more), Milos is reputed as one of North America’s finest establishments of Mediterranean/Greek cuisine. Estiatorio Milos features fine Mediterranean cuisine at its best and has a longstanding reputation for serving the freshest, most pristine seafood imported daily in all locations. Like all the locations, the chain has become an iconic restaurant in midtown New York. Partnering with The Related Companies, the time had come for the restaurant to continue building its legacy. This time, Milos is now part of the much-heralded Hudson Yards.
Our design approach with this restaurateur, based on a long-lasting friendship, numerous discussions around food (and even Greek philosophy!) has brought us to adapt a chain business model into a more subtle and sensitive response to every specific venue that is added in its portfolio. Each project is different in terms of addressing this critical posture, where site specificity can be addressed as a design attitude, even when it comes to a chain business model.
