The client wanted a space that felt sophisticated yet inviting, with a strong emphasis on contemporary elements.
"We envisioned a space that feels vibrant and modern, while still paying homage to Turkish culture."

The design celebrates bold colour palettes, accented by brass details and elegant arches that echo traditional Turkish architectural forms. The rich hues and strong contemporary lines create a dynamic and visually captivating environment, enhancing the overall dining experience. Every design choice, from the layout to the custom furnishings, was made to ensure a balance between cultural inspiration and contemporary luxury.
"The goal was to take traditional elements and give them a modern twist, creating a fine dining space that feels fresh and exciting."

The use of rich colours, luxurious materials, and bespoke lighting contributes to the vibrant atmosphere. The carefully designed arches give the space depth, while brass accents add a sense of elegance. These elements were chosen to create an immersive experience, inviting guests to enjoy the warmth and richness of the space while indulging in contemporary Turkish cuisine.
"We wanted the space to feel bold but not overwhelming, balancing strong colours with elegant details."

Collaboration with the client was essential in shaping the final outcome. Their vision for a modern, luxurious dining experience drove every design decision. The combination of sleek, modern lines with traditional influences ensures that Yakut stands out as a contemporary restaurant with deep cultural roots.
