Amber York Teak

[Oreo Huppe]

NewYork studio Rockwell Group designed the 2,000 square feet (186 square metres) space to have a "tropical-meets-downtown vibe". Finishes and decor inspired by Southeast Asia are incorporated throughout.

Guests step into a slender front room with a wooden ceiling and brick walls coated with a milky whitewash. Wooden tables are paired with tan leather chairs. Perforated lighting fixtures cast speckled light across the tables and walls.

The bar area features teak panels and a patchwork of marble tiles. Suspended from the ceiling is a shelving system filled with liquor bottles and lush plants. Some portions are left open while others are covered with amber-tinted glass.

An arched entryway leads to a slender corridor, where the team installed a drink rail made of live-edge wood. Bits of moss poke through the white brick walls, lending an earthy feel to the compact space.

Founded in 1984, Rockwell Group is known for its extensive portfolio of interiors projects around the globe. Other New York projects by the firm include the interiors for the 15 Hudson Yards skyscraper and Yotel hotel in Times Square, which features purplish lighting and computerised kiosks.

A downtown-slash-tropical feel permeates this restaurant in Soho from Cedric Vongerichten and his wife Ochi. The couple serves food influenced by the cuisine of Indonesia, where Ochi is from, with a modern, French flair. We gave the existing white brick walls of the narrow, linear space a milky wash, and added wood floors, rustic teak paneling, amber glass, and accents of oxidized copper, batik screens, and authentic carved wood pieces from Indonesia.
