„Leckere Bowls, Bubble Teas, Urlaubsfeeling“. Dies sind die drei Konzepte, die das junge, zwanglose Restaurant Sesh Bowls definieren, das sich im Einkaufszentrum Glattzentrum in Zürich befindet. Das Restaurant verwendet biologische, frische, saisonale Zutaten, die sorgfältig in poke-ähnlichen Gerichten gemischt und in schönen, handgefertigt wirkenden Schalen serviert werden.
Poke ist ein roher Fischsalat, der seinen Ursprung in Hawaii hat, wo er als Vorspeise oder Hauptgericht serviert wird, und ist auch hierzulande in Mode, seit er vor einigen Jahren in trendigen Restaurants in westlichen Ländern als gesundes Gericht eingeführt wurde. Bei Bubble Tea handelt es sich um ein süßes, aromatisiertes Getränk auf Teebasis, das mit Obst, Fruchtsäften oder Milch gemischt wird und auch eisgekühlt serviert werden kann.
Bei der Gestaltung des Restaurants berücksichtigte Nader Interior all dies, einschließlich des ruhigen und erfrischenden „Urlaubsgefühls“, das das Restaurant durch seine Küche bietet. Dazu hat das Studio skurrile Details hinzugefügt, wie Schaukeln als Sitzgelegenheiten an einigen Tischen, Pflanzen, die von den hohen Decken kaskadenförmig herabhängen, und ein an eine Meerlandschaft angelehntes Wandbild an der Rückwand, ein Konzept, das sich auch in den Barplatten widergespiegelt.
Selecting the right materials for an outdoor design is key to connecting the new design of the rest of the home and guarantee a nice flow between the spaces. The existing interior kitchen had a bit more depth with deeper colours on the kitchen island, so a calming tone needed to be selected to connect the two spaces in harmony.
Speaking about Cosentino product chosen for this project, a exclusive quartzite with anti-stain treatment, Ash said, “Sensa Platino allowed for the design of the outdoor kitchen in its expansive size, to feel quite calm and restful. It has a beautiful oceanic veining, with blues and green tones, and in some lights, it's a bit grey and dark as well, so it offers a lot of vibrancy. I think when we use natural stone, it’s a special material to use. It's more sophisticated than tiles, and it worked on the bigger span as well, almost eight meters long of backsplash. I chose Sensa Platino for the calmness of its colouring. It is quite moody whilst also being serene and it has such beautiful movement in it. The colour was a real specification for this project, because it did have to link back into the interior of the house.”
Describing the rest of the project, Ash continued, “The counters were poured concrete. We selected that because there were so many different forms that we wanted to do on the countertops, and we wanted it deep in one part shallower in another part, it had the little green egg, and there was a front bar on the front of it, so we were able to manipulate it much easier. There is a sink as well which just offered us a bit more than using natural stone or similar for this design, and this material didn't take away from the backsplash.”
Wilson went on to explain, “Having used Cosentino on other projects, I knew that it was perfect for the specification on this application and the colour choice available allowed us to deliver the desired look and feel. Technically it was ideal due to its inherent strength and allowed us to be creative with the fit-out elements being designed to carry it and outwork fit for purpose requirements.”
Finally, Ash mentioned, “As with any project, I think it’s so important for architects and designers to visit showrooms like the Cosentino Showroom in Dublin to view the full range and spec of the slabs before making a final decision!’
