Grace cafe

About project

The challenge in designing the interior of Grace lay in the fact that it is a long, narrow space. Our task was to position the bar in a way that it would be visible from the facade. We decided to divide the bar area into two sections to provide seating both in front of and behind the counter. To visually expand the space, mirror panels were installed along the entire left wall of the main room, reflecting the interior and creating a sense of openness. To emphasize the historic character of the room, the antique vaulted ceiling was preserved, and its reflection in the wall panels further accentuates the impression of height. The decor is kept in light tones, and the textured walls highlight the room's natural feel.

The bar counter became the central element, made of glass, stainless steel, and mirrors, which gives it an unexpected lightness. To illuminate the rear part of the room, a glowing acrylic wall was installed, which also separates the entrance to the restrooms and the kitchen. The arched windows on the facade blend seamlessly and stylishly into the architecture of Odessa's old town. Another architectural highlight of the interior is the use of wood. Taking up this accent, custom-made tables were created, giving the interior its fresh, natural look – inviting guests to return and enjoy their time at these tables again and again.
