“For me, Greek foods is something you have at residence. It is not designed to seem refined,” says interior architect George Livissianis, who translated some of that simplicity and lack of pretension to his style and design for the Greek restaurant, Apollo, in Sydney, Australia. Livissianis, an Australian of Greek descent, was lucky adequate to locate fortuitous architectural particulars beneath the dropped ceilings and plasterboard of the recent space, and had the vision to know what to do with them.
“Our intent was to expose the carcass of the generating and motivate the inherent Mediterranean genuinely come to feel of the existing arched windows, the hidden decorative ceilings and stripped finish of the existing walls.” Wabi-sabi rawness and a dearth of color—Livissianis refers to the shade palette as desaturated and dusty—recalls the rocky, sun-bleached Grecian landscape and Artemide suspension lighting and pale Thonet chairs inject modern elegance. Fairly refined, we’d say.
