Tasked to give new life to this restaurant to cater to the young and vibrant crowd of U.P. Town Center, my partner Andres and I decided to go with a Greek fusion in the redesign of Kos Greek. A first for both of us, my partner and I wanted to leave a lasting impact on our first restaurant project. Rather than going very traditional, our approach was a subtle combination of Greek themes and modern design elements. This allows us to create a new twist to this beloved family restaurant.
Blue tones and wood finishes create a Greek vibe with a cozy feel, a fresh take to the monotonous color tones of the original design. On the walls, Andres and I went for an
Instagrammable
look by using contrasting elements. One side has a more natural feel with textured white bricks, while the other can serve as a more colorful backdrop with blue and white patterned tiles.
A modern take on a typical trellis was applied to the ceiling as well, playing with different layers and angles to create a statement piece that catches the eye and draws in visitors. Following those lines down the middle grants you a view to the new bar counter at the center of the restaurant, with its similar trellis look in wood finish and its beautiful stone top. Framing the bar counter are the existing angled walls, given new life with the addition of cove lighting.
Many changes were made while some essential elements were retained such as the furniture and the floor tiles. One other thing that still remained was the heart and soul of the place, which is the authentic tasting Greek food. All in all, the end result was a brand new Kos Greek. It is a place we enjoyed designing and eating at, and a project we can definitely say is one for the books!
Angled cuts create a modern look while using traditional materials create for an interesting look on the ceiling.
For a classic and classy Greek look, blue and white patterned wall tiles were paired with glass lamps with copper accents.
The angled display shelf mirrors the existing angled walls on opposite sides of the restaurant. LED strip lights were added to highlight the items on display.
White bricks were used for a rustic vibe combined with effective use of lighting to highlight the texture.
