ENSO
East Lansing, MI New Construction / Renovation 6,900 S.F. - 200 Seat Restaurant/Nightclub The client's goal was to establish a fine dining restaurant that could transform into a nightclub at night. The location, in the epicenter of high density housing, had to be respectable enough to draw in the nonstudent demographic while being 'feasible' enough not to alienate the surrounding student population. The project was fast-track, starting in May 2009 and finishing in September 2009. The term Enso symbolizes enlightenment, strength and elegance. These were the basic concepts used in the design of the restaurant. Elegant forms of wood and steel existing cohesively with soft glowing fabrics throughout the interior mimic the stone, metal elements and radiating flames at the exterior. Further, in Buddhist painting, Enso symbolizes a movement when the mind is free to simply let the body and spirit create. It indicates the expressive movement of the spirit. This is the basis for the concept of softly lit 'DNA'-like wave in the ceiling. The soft movement of the wave draws your eye through the main space to rooms beyond. |
