TOSCANA

WINE-MARKET-CUCINA

We were tasked with transforming a 6,000 SF retail space at the podium of the AC Hotel into a destination restaurant. To maximize the potential of this space, we strategically divided it into distinct areas, while also incorporating a new business center. Embracing an Italian theme, we saw a wine market as a natural fit. To enhance this market, we introduced a unique "pour-your-own-wine" experience featuring 24 varietals. This innovation not only provided a space for guests to gather and wait for a table but also allowed for convenient grab-and-go wine and accompaniments, creating a new revenue stream. The layout included a market, bar, dining room, private dining area, and an exterior perimeter with generous outdoor spaces. The outdoor area features a pergola-covered terrace with both lounge and dining seating, complemented by inviting fire features.
