Q&A
How does the design of your space (or an element of the design) impact the experiences people have there?
"The Chef and owner of the space has a heroic story of survival and immigration and the woven fabrics of his culture is expressed in his food. The atmosphere within the restaurant had to reflect and compliment this. For weeks, I combed the streets of Vietnam to find just the right decor to create a feeling, an emotional vibe that reflects the heart of Vietnam and the hard working people who live there. I sourced ornate hand-made iron screen doors of varied shapes and sizes and refinished to showcase them as stunning copper room-dividers that add depth and dimension to the space. 'A hint of Asia' is reflected in the custom coat closet with refurbished iron doors or the defined entry way lined by iron railings brought back from the streets of Saigon bring an authentic feeling that compliments the cuisine."
Q&A
What is the interior design style of your space?
"The interior of HaiSous Vietnamese Kitchen pays respect to the roots of Vietnamese culture and their cuisine through design and spacial arrangement while preserving the vestige of the 125 year old historic building."
Q&A
What Custom/Original Element do your guests notice most often? What do they say about it?
"One of the most prominent features within the restaurant is the bamboo dropped ceilings that intersect with bamboo walls. Each piece of bamboo is spaced so light can travel between poles and cascade both shade and shadow throughout the dining room. The bamboo is juxtaposed by finished Baltic Birch plywood panel walls that are thoughtfully spaced 1/4" apart to celebrate the seam between each panel. Our guests feel warmly welcomed and comfortable in this 'street-chic' space and often suggest that they feel like they are in our home, not just a high end restaurant."
