Buena Vida
Located in Belgrade, Serbia, Buena Vida is the first international design project for BASILE Studio. Working with a unique set of geographical challenges for our standard design/build model, this Mexican Gastro Bar was designed at our California studio and installed on-site by our colleagues abroad. Commanding immediate attention is the oversized round bar with formed steel and oak tambour bar face, white stone bar top and brass and glass liquor chandelier shelving overhead. The adjoining dining rooms utilize breeze block partitions and live greenery along with integrated booth systems and hardwood edge tabletops with brass inlay. In an effort to highlight the unique Mexican cuisine, we designed an open-kitchen format allowing diners to live-view the culinary operations. A custom art installation on the far dining wall was a collaboration with the talented Inkiostro Bianco team and includes rotating aluminum slats with three distinct abstract murals.
