Developed by noted restaurateur Stephen Starr, this project consists of a high-quality tenant renovation of a restaurant on two levels in the Chelsea Market in New York City. Architecturally exposed concrete, a signature element of Tadao Ando's work, is dramatically visible in a series of concrete columns and floating stair. The space is further defined by a static "waterwall," a steel curtain holding nearly 20,000 illuminated bottles of water.
