Cyan Brasserie, Andaz Capital Gate, Abu Dhabi

Entrance Arrival
The new entrance was situated at the lift lobby using the low ceiling restrictions, a featured tunnel was designed with inspirational key words, evoking a sense of anticipation. Cyan, in both English and French, is the name of the color that lies in the exact middle point between blue and green. The journey begins with a focal olive tree and high curved banquets on a reflective marble surface with a bold striped pattern.

Dining Area
A modern Franco-Arab Brasserie, the brief was to combine the two Cultures in an environment where guests are encouraged to explore their personal sense of style and become inspired by the cultures around them. The restaurant offers an experience that embraces the love of food and social dining, reflecting the “Joie de vivre” or enjoyment of life that links both regions.

Show Kitchen Area
Stepping down to the Lower area the atmosphere changes into hues of Blues and brass detailing representing the French elements. Intimate yet still playful, screens separate the Brasserie offering a genuine experience of warm hospitality direct from the show kitchen. At night the ambience changes to a more intimate setting contrasting with the liveliness of the Show Kitchen as the chefs perform their crafts.

Lower Dining Area
Our design approach was to elevate the restaurant by creating the perfect synergy between the menu, the overall aesthetics and the functionality of the space. We focused on emphasizing the views, while taking advantage of its high volumes by creating new various floor levels. The guest is encouraged to experience each area differently, so whether it's sitting in openly along the city views or by the active Show Kitchen, Cyan Brasserie will always welcome the guests back.
