The gaga coast restaurant in Shanghai recalls a deep connection with coastal elements and Mediterranean soul. Linehouse transformed a three storey building into a vertical journey of refined rusticity across three floors of the restaurant giving visitors unique and distinct spaces to dine. Colours and materials throughout the three floors change telling a different part of the story; green earthy tones on the ground floor link the garden to the open café space, the red fire tones of second floor reflect the dining room centered on the parilla grill, the black yakisugi wood of the third floor contrasts against the white washed flanked stone walls and existing traditional timber trussed ceiling.
A daytime café transitioning into an evening bar. The walls are covered with lava stone with a green glaze creating a handmade patina. The timber-framed windows open up to the garden outside lined with olive trees. Natural timbers are used for the centerpiece bar counter.
The green glazed volcanic rock walls and wooden windows
To align with the store’s aesthetic, Energy Handmade Tile selected volcanic rock and added a layer of refreshing green glaze to enhance its appearance.
