About Piccola Enoteca Restaurant
Piccola Enoteca is an Italian restaurant interior located in Zhubei City, Taiwan. The design occupies six floors on a narrow site facing the street. Balconies with black handrails shape the facade, while large doors and windows add depth to the exterior. Each floor is defined by a different use and by a color that remains part of one unified system. The basement is formed like a grotto with a mysterious ambiance. An internal courtyard extends the visual depth and draws the view upward to starry lighting fixtures. Materials include hand made blackened steel, marble and wood.
