About Lipa Fine Dining Restaurant
The design philosophy centers on elevating the fine dining experience by offering an authentic tasting journey with no distractions - no glass barriers stand between you and the food. With flavor as the star, every detail is crafted to support rather than overshadow the meal. A rich, dark palette, enriched with local hues, cinnamon, and desert gray, reflects the spirit of the region, while the blend of raw and luxurious materials mirrors the chef's heartfelt approach to each dish. A final touch of artisan care invites the guests to savor the warmth of home.
Moshary Abdullatif Al-Holaibi's Lipa Fine Dining Restaurant emerges from a contemporary design tradition that seeks to harmonize industrial architectural vocabulary with the warmth and intimacy essential to elevated culinary experiences. The space demonstrates sophisticated understanding of how material choices and lighting strategies work in concert to establish atmosphere, with the commanding brass-clad ventilation hood serving simultaneously as functional necessity and sculptural centerpiece that anchors the entire spatial composition. The designer appears to engage deliberately with tensions between exposure and enclosure, revealing the industrial infrastructure of ceiling beams and mechanical systems while creating intimate dining zones through carefully considered furniture groupings, lowered pendant fixtures, and the warm envelope of ambient illumination. The chromatic program draws upon earth tones historically associated with hospitality and nourishment, the burnt siennas and umbers suggesting hearth warmth, the emerald tiles perhaps evoking culinary freshness, while gold and brass accents introduce a register of refined celebration appropriate to fine dining contexts. Textural orchestration rewards close attention, from the apparent softness of velvet seating inviting lingering conversation to the cool smoothness of ceramic vessels displayed as decorative objects suggesting the artisanal care applied to culinary presentation. The integration of traditional ornamental language through filigree lantern patterns and geometric tile work alongside contemporary industrial elements suggests a design philosophy that honors heritage craft traditions while embracing modern spatial honesty. One might observe how the layered lighting strategy creates zones of varying intimacy, allowing the space to accommodate both the communal energy of a bustling service and the private focus of individual dining parties. The viewer is invited to consider how material authenticity and atmospheric warmth combine to create environments where culinary artistry and human connection might flourish together.
Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- The major design approach revolves around creating a dynamic contrast between raw, exposed materials and polished, luxury elements to foster a distinctive and immersive dining experience. This duality is achieved by incorporating a variety of textures and finishes, where the rugged, industrial appeal of polished concrete, steel, and cladding stone comes together with the warmth and elegance of finely crafted woodwork. These raw materials, with their natural imperfections and tactile qualities, evoke a sense of authenticity and grounded simplicity, establishing a foundation of earthy and bold aesthetics.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- The project's total base area is 600 sqm, with the kitchen area occupying approximately 350 sqm of the overall design space. The project is located in a five-story commercial building, ensuring alignment with the requirements of a modern commercial space in terms of MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) systems, as well as design and construction methods.

- Production Technology
- The design prioritizes the use of natural materials with low emissions, minimizing the use of artificial materials wherever possible. Real marble surfaces, stone claddings, E1 class MDF wood veneers, resilient fabrics, and upholstery are incorporated. In terms of material sourcing, local options are preferred. Market research for the locally available materials, aligning with cost and schedule baselines, mock-up preparations and sample collections for quality assurance, are the methods used throughout the project.
- Design Challenge
- A creative research challenge could focus on Sustainable Construction Practices in Commercial Spaces through Local Collaboration. The challenge would explore how diverse teams; such as designers, contractors, and material suppliers can collaborate to create commercial environments that are both environmentally sustainable and operationally efficient.
- Project Duration
- The project is located in Al Ahsa, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, at the Icon Tower. The project is scheduled to begin in January 2024 and is set to be completed by December 2024.
- Operation Flow
- Ala Hariri, Nasak, and local contractors collaborated closely, combining expertise to ensure success. Ala Hariri focused on sustainable design at the initial stage, while Nasak studied sourcing local materials, minimizing environmental impact and meeting commercial standards. Local contractors provided on-the-ground expertise for smooth execution. Together, efficient construction methods applied with sustainable material sourcing , ensuring the project met both aesthetic and functional goals.
- Research
- Our research investigates how local sourcing of materials contributes to reducing the project's carbon footprint and supports regional industries. The study also focused on how the project aligns with the functional requirements of modern commercial buildings, including the integration of efficient MEP systems. Therefore, this research seeks to identify best practices for incorporating sustainable design, material selection, and construction methods in commercial spaces, with a focus on achieving both environmental and operational efficiency.
- Inspiration
- The project is located in Al Ahsa Province, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The main motivation for the project is the need for a high-class fine dining experience within the region. The approach is to create, maintain, and sustain a high level of design and service to be regarded as a success on a global scale, while also preserving unique local features to establish a sense of attachment.
