Situated on an old Kiev street populated with Soviet-era buildings, AKZ Architectura – founded by Artem Vakhrin and Katya Zuieva – hoped to make the restaurant a "bright spot" in the area. They developed a predominantly bright white design that would stand out when seen from the street through the cafe's small black-framed window and glazed door, but hid a cluster of green plants in the bathroom.
"The idea was to create a place that would show costumers the idea behind Orang+Utan bar," said the architects. "The city is a jungle and people who live there are smart animals, they need a place to refill energy."
