BO District
The BO bistro is located on the ground floor of a house in the historical centre of Prague. The original qualities of the space are highlighted and complemented with new, clean details. The space seeks to be unified with light monochrome colours with subtle accents, thanks to which the interior is brightened. Seemingly a ‘rigid’ interior makes the aesthetics of colourful Asian dishes stand out.
The space that was divided into several height levels is now unified and supplemented with solitary elements. At the entrance to the main dining space is a dominant box made of grey MDF board that creates a backdrop for the white tiled bar counter. This box not only covers the unevenness of the space but also embodies a staircase leading to the more private part of the restaurant and kitchen. The whole composition is complemented by a distinctive lamp above the bar made of galvanized sheet metal.
The unifying element in the interior is a repeating frame construction made of white expanded metal mesh. This structure gives the space a subtle character of intimacy but still leaves it transparent. The green lightweight steel railings add adequate details to the space.
The original food elevator was preserved in the lower part of the bistro which was uniformly wrapped in white expanded metal mesh. The lift is supplemented by a secondary counter lined with white tiles. The walls and vaulted ceilings have been unified with a new plaster in a light contextual colour, which gives the space a fine texture and brightens it up. The black toilets create a contrast to the light interior. The inserted furniture is uncomplicated, the simple tables are made of beech plywood with green metal legs complemented by simple beech chairs. Interior lighting plays a major role in the overall design. The spotlights directed at the tables are connected by a strip and thus create a spatial structure. The interior lighting offers two neons which form critical elements of space - line and circle. Different sets of lighting become an important element that enhances the atmosphere of the restaurant and thus suggests a perfect dining experience.
