The architects preserved all the plaster decorations and windows details, and unified them with a uniform colour. To accentuate its original design they used, in contrast, raw materials: the bar itself, for example, is made of old corrugated iron sheet. The wall behind the bar is garnished with black basalt bricks and decorated with colored metal blinds. Floors are made of bare concrete, giving a Chicago industrial feeling. The high ceiling of the restaurant made the acoustics a bit problematic, so three huge lamps made of fiberglass were added. The same material was used for the entrance tunnel. This material was chosen for its unique quality of light distribution.
