The restaurant is located in the Lightworks Building, a renovated art-déco building which originally was built by architect H. H. Simmonds in 1942 as a production site for electric parts.
The objective of the interior design was to use the existing room layout – one of an industrial building – in a contrasting manner for the current use and direction.
The industrial quality of the room is underlined by the use of minimalist and unfinished materials such as concrete, steel, plaster and wood in the combination with a muted color palette of grey, green and black.
The rough is contrasted with a simplified flower motive – also as a sign of peace of the flower children
