*빈티지 피자 레스토랑 인 로마 [ Noses Architects ] KOOK Osteria & Pizzeria In Rome, Italy

콘크리트의 차가운 물성, 나무의 따뜻한 물성. 그리고 중앙에 위치한

글래스 아트리움, 그곳에 식재된 올리브 나무.

자연스러움을 추구하는 이들에게

평온한 감성을 전달하는 빈티지 스페이스가 완성된다.

일반적인 레스토랑과는 차별화되는 '쿡 오스터리아 앤 피자리아'는 레스토랑이 아닌

빈티지 하우스와 같은 공간감을 앞서 말하는 요소들을 조합하여

새로운 경향의 공간으로 만들어 낸다.

그것은 절제된 심플한 공간 속에 자연스럽게 배치된 빈티지 요소들과의

조합에서 찾을 수 있다.

치장없는 백색의 벽, 자연스럽게 노출된 조명과 배관들은 

절제된 심플한 공간을,

보르도 가죽쇼파, '트리토리아' 빈티지 스타일 체어,

샹들리에 등은 빈티지 요소를 만들며

이곳 레스토랑의 디자인 캐릭터를 구체화 한다.

KOOK Osteria & Pizzeria (VIA CASSIA 2040, 00123 Olgiata, Lazio, Italy) opened its doors just outside Rome's Olgiata in 2012, with the great dynamic duo known as design and food behind the helm. The young architectural firm Noses Architects founded by Mohamed Keilani and Luca Gasparini put their best foot forward to create a space that compliments the essence of the dishes while at the same time retaining that overboard-Italian character.

With one glimpse at KOOK you instantly know that this is a place where you can eat, lounge and have one of those wonderful days where you go for lunch and leave from the table late evening. Through the finishes and décor, the character of the interior culminates in what can only be described as contemporary nostalgia.

The cold concrete floor is combined with the warm wood finish to control the balance of its character; a character strongly dominated by the symbolic olive tree incorporated in the atrium within. Symbolising wisdom and longevity, this feature brings about all of the authenticity acquired within the restaurant. As a result, the design surrounding it could be left to a more simplistic structural finish approach while introducing vintage elements. Within the stark white walls and the original exposed lighting/piping channels we see bordeaux leather sofas, ‘trattoria’ old style wooden chairs, suspended chandeliers and mosaic influences on the floor and walls. And it is this marriage that gives this space character and warmness. It is the essence of the strong relationship between grandma’s secret recipes and the chef’s new cuisine specialty.

With a Bianchi bicycle on the wall and French nouveaux detail mirror finishes, KOOK offers an area where you can truly appreciate all that there is in the notion of taking joy in food which the architects have engraved on the walls, setting the scene for what is to be expected: ''Whoever doesn't enjoy the meal is crazy, furious and devoid of common sense.''
