RESTAURANT TERRAE | VIENNA 1

TUSCAN KITCHEN

In December 2022, the Tuscan restaurant Terrae opened its doors in the vaults of the listed old armored house from 1313. The architecture and design are as simple and elegant as the name.

We have created an overall design that above all manages to create a cosy, authentic atmosphere while at the same time taking a lot of consideration for the existing building.

We underline the historic role of the building with a contemporary design language. The concept created is characterized by a timeless style, carefully thought-out details, functionality and the use of natural materials.  The new room design makes it possible to convey a spacious impression despite the very compact room layout. The two rooms, separated by a strong central wall, are surrounded by a bench so that they flow into each other on both sides and can be used equally. Seats also meander along the walls and in the window niches, making each seat something special.

Custom-made upholstered benches squat along the walls along the walls and around the central wall in a beautiful dark fir green, adding warmth and uniting the spaces. Despite their dark colour, they are visually and constructively light. The tables are made of stained core wood and the chairs are upholstered in bronze green and mustard yellow round off the warm but reduced ambience.

The sober and functional aesthetics are at the heart of the restaurant’s interior design project. The use of authentic materials convevs the philosophy of the restaurant: «Terrae» is a synonym of genuine and elegant Tuscan food and wine. The vaults are renovated and set off by a traditional lime plaster. A waxed concrete plaster decorates the semicircular counters of the open gourmet kitchen and the bar counter, harmonizing the transition with the vault while giving it a modern look. The parquet floor is made of whitewashed oak planks.
