The next time you’re at the food court in your local mall, visions of this ultra modern restaurant design by London architects Virgile and Stone will have your mouth watering for more. Located inside the central atrium of Amsterdam’s Villa ArenA furniture mall, this unusual restaurant sits perched atop a series of concrete columns. The extraordinary eatery is accessed via two footbridges which connect to the mall’s second shopping level. The main structure is lean, mean and green through and through. The contemporary cladding is oxidized TECU copper, and each end of the main body is capped in expanses of glass, providing unobstructed views of the mall while enclosing the space from the hustle and bustle below.
Virgile and Stone.
