My goal for the 2,578 square-foot cafe/galleria is to create an atmosphere in which the patron feels as though they are stepping into a painting by Gustav Klimt. Elements of his paintings and murals are utilized, and his sense of style resonates throughout the space. Dimensional interest is achieved by using curvilinear elements that echo the female figure; they are adorned with symbolism and iconography comprised of mosaic and glass tile. Other elements are gilded in gold and attached to the ceiling. Chairs are simple, metal-frame construction with solid, venetian purple cusions--enough pizzazz without competing against the surroundings. Since many patrons may be taking their food "to go," service counters are unobstructed and pathways are wide to ensure accessibility and circulation of the space. Overall, my intention is to create a vibrant and uplifting environment where people can feel comfortable to come and go as they please.
