INSPIRATION: I was inspired from the grill, the heart of the kitchen, and I came out of the lines in my design. Also inspired by the flavors and touches a chef gives to a meal.
Biget Steak&Co is an upper segment steak restaurant. In addition to grilled products, it has a menu offering doner and iskender kebabs, pizza, burgers, salads, desserts, and drinks. The volumes we designed have a spread area of 2.200m².
Our design Biget Steak&Co was awarded the Iron Award in the category of "Interior and Exhibition Areas" by the A' Design Award & Competition platform in 2017-2018.
We used modular tables and round tables together in the living room areas. Since the ceiling is low, we used vertical timbers and hid the ventilation inside them.
As there are many beams that are close to each other in the space, individual and discrete appearances dominated by beams had occurred. In order to create a stronger ceiling visual, we used wooden masses that are close to each other but distributed in different directions on this ceiling. Thanks to this design, we achieved to create a stronger ceiling perception by reducing the effect of beams and at the same time, we provided the acoustics in the space.
Our starting point at the design phase was the grill in the center of the kitchen. We combined the vertical movements in the form of a grid with the warmth of the wood.
As the height of the space is not very high, we used linear forms with various materials vertically and horizontally. This also made the ceiling appear higher and added dynamism to the space.
The façade of the building, which is a former helicopter joystick factory, was covered with composite and glass cladding. The side garden was also the parking lot landing. We removed the entire facade cladding.
We covered the elevator tower we elevated using the best brick in the world, brought from the Netherlands. This application we made formed thusly the main character of the building. We applied concrete plaster to the remaining places.
Covering the parking area on the side, we allocated a part of it to garden use. We created a 60m² children's playground in this area.
The low ceiling at the entrance of the space was one of the determinations we revealed at the beginning of the project. To solve this problem, we created a tear in the ceiling and a gallery space. This place, which contributes height to the place, was later called Italian by the guests. In order for the guests to feel at home, we thought of a vertical living garden on the opposite wall.
Except for the design of the place's chairs (including colors and fabrics), we designed all furniture components and checked their production entirely, and also had samples made. We were together with the teams during the production and assembly of tables, separators, lighting, vertical wood, and all products.
By creating a construction that includes the sunshade system in the garden, we have hidden the forehead and eaves on the facade and the ventilation ducts in the interior in this area. We created comfort by using underfloor heating on the floor.
