WHANAU RESTAURANT & BAR

The renderings are inspired by the Maori indigenous culture in South Island, New Zealand. The goal was to celebrate the culture, not appropriate it. This was done through material selections and custom seating like the spiral, monolithic limestone seating that includes both bar and banquette seating with room for biophilic additions. The spiral, or koru as the Maori call it, represents the cycle of life.
