Bar Domani

About The Entry

Inspired by Italian street scenes, the design harmoniously blends past and present, reminiscent of refurbished European houses. The open layout, like Italian restaurants or cafes, offers a relaxed experience akin to strolling through European streets. The minimalist color scheme and upscale furniture create an inviting yet refined ambiance, making Bar Domani a daily dining destination rather than a special-occasion spot.

Bar Domani boasts the shopping center's most beautiful terrace. Arch windows minimize the separation between indoor and outdoor spaces, enhancing visual transparency. Faux terrazzo floor tiles near the bar enhance the Italian feel, while the simple ceiling design maintains a relaxed ambiance without excessive embellishments.

Light control is a key focus, with a Bluetooth-controlled system offering high adjustability. It allows real-time adjustments in brightness and color for different areas based on weather and time, ensuring the space remains comfortable and atmospheric. At the owners' request, the designer created a private dining booth. Blinds provide privacy without enclosure, and the dark teal color and hanging lights highlight its presence while coordinating with the overall design.

Lighting creates spatial layers, with bright lights at the serving counter and subdued surroundings simulating a distant glow, adding depth. The central bar counter features a unique copper thermal spray coating, providing a seamless, intricately detailed appearance that naturally oxidizes over time, giving the bar a culturally rich and organic look.

Arched windows introduce generous natural light, while adjustable lighting balances ambiance and energy efficiency. Outdoor landscaping features a diverse selection of plants, deviating from the uniformity seen in popular Taiwanese European-style restaurants, recreating the natural and rich feel of Italian style while maximizing environmental benefits.
