Taking into account its affluent neighborhood and the city’s repeated industrial aesthetic, the Chase restaurant puts a modern spin on classic, elegant dining.
Inspired by upscale residences, the restaurant’s floorplan and detailing take after an elegant city home.
“For the furniture, we looked at various fabrics to dress the banquettes, chairs, and barstools—each one creating a different mood in each zone,” says Gianpiero Pugliese, principal of locally based Audax Architecture.
Elegant stone, like Cararra marble and a honed chocolate limestone, are layered in.
The flooring moves from marble to hardwood to carpet, and the ceiling details vary in each zone.
The key element of the restaurant is the white palette that covers the walls, columns, and trim, along with an ornamented ceiling and molding to emulate the look of a home.
The maroon velvet banquettes in the wine room contrast with those in the dining room.
“We really tried to pull together as many images from different parts to create something from scratch that’s new and original,” says Pugliese.
