Jade Restaurant & Club
Zurich
About
The interior design of Jade restaurant & club, created by Marc Briefer from Zurich, impresses with an overall air of understated luxury. Set in the stately premises of a former post office, Jade occupies an area of 450m2 on the ground floor (including kitchen and sanitary installations), epitomizing a new and innovative gastro and club concept. The double function of the restaurant & club required a planning process of some length and complexity. With respect to room layout, technical facilities and materials, a wide variety of solutions were found which nevertheless blend into a harmonious whole. The window arches of the listed building's façade were returned to their original state, thus allowing daylight to enter the 300m2 guest area from three sides. Ten rectangular supports surround the central bar. Alongside the windowed walls, comfortable sofa seats upholstered in fine leather combine to form separate niches – creating an atmosphere that is as classy as it is inviting. Every Friday and Saturday night, the restaurant changes into a laid back club lounge, with mirrored media walls by the VIP and DJ areas visually enlarging the room. Special attention has been devoted to the lighting concept. Its (literal) highlights are ten large, digitally controlled LED ceiling lights which create light FX in perfect tune with the music. Everywhere you look, only durable, high-quality materials have been used boasting beautiful details and fine workmanship.
