The Urban Space-500 restaurant was founded by 500 truly socially active citizens, contributing $ 1,000 each, 80% of the profits go to the needs of the city. The project was implemented in a record 4 months. One of the extraordinary tasks that needed to be solved was to meet the expectations of five hundred investors!
According to the terms of the task, the restaurant, in addition to its the main function, is to be a platform for lectures, discussions and just a meeting place. In the context of the project, preference was given to the solutions that combine all the premises of into one space.
However, to fit into the budget and the deadline, we proposed not to combine the halls, but to make them completely different, for different moods and scenarios. there is room for discussion, another for a romantic evening, and further one just a drink.
The project uses natural materials and is devoid of harmful plastic. In several rooms, you can sit on environmentally friendly chairs made of recycled materials, the rest of the furniture and interior elements were commissioned by designers. The main materials are old brick, metal, concrete floor, veneered and solid wood panels. A tribute is also given to history: the original entrance doors were restored and left in place. A project made with love by the people for their city.
