This 4,000 square foot restaurant offers three rooms on three levels, including a subterranean dining grotto reached by an open staircase suspended over an 18-foot illuminated pool. The room’s brick walls and ceiling vaults shimmer with ripples of light thrown from the illuminated perimeter water channel. This distinctive and celebrated playground is achieved by working with a modest and simple palette of brick, mortar, and concrete that is embellished with tinted concrete and bold color flourishes. Photos © Peter Aaron/Esto
