The Design

About Lipa Restaurant d'Alta Gastronomia

La filosofia del disseny se centra en elevar l'experiència gastronòmica oferint un autèntic viatge de degustació sense distraccions: cap barrera de vidre s'interposa entre els comensals i el menjar. Amb el sabor com a protagonista, cada detall està dissenyat per recolzar en lloc d'eclipsar l'àpat. Una paleta rica i fosca, enriquida amb tons locals, canyella i gris desèrtic, reflecteix l'esperit de la regió, mentre que la combinació de materials crus i luxosos reflecteix l'aproximació sincera del xef a cada plat. Un toc final de cura artesanal convida els comensals a saborir la calidesa de la llar.

Behind the Design

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.
Tags: Restaurant, Fine Dining, Sustainable, Industrial
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.
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.
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.
