Cove is a spa-inspired café and restaurant overlooking the Mediterranean, designed to immerse guests in serenity. Set against a mesmerizing sea backdrop, the space features smooth, earthy tones and organic forms that soothe the senses.
Gentle lighting and natural materials create a sanctuary where visitors can unwind and reconnect. The wholesome menu, offering nourishing dishes and drinks, complements the tranquil ambiance, transforming this destination into more than just a dining experience — it’s a retreat for relaxation.
A sweeping, curved entrance invites guests to transition seamlessly from the exterior to the interior. This architectural feature combines fluid design, carefully curated materials, and soft lighting to evoke a sense of calm anticipation.
The exterior wall, inspired by a billowing sail, enhances the airy ambiance, while glass curtain walls allow light and sea views to flow indoors. This dynamic balance between solid and void fosters an atmosphere of openness and tranquility.
The interior blends minimalist elegance with warmth, featuring white walls, wooden accents, and subtle stone elements. This restrained palette, paired with clean lines and uncluttered spaces, creates an atmosphere of serenity and mindfulness.
Cozy corners, ambient lighting, and natural textures invite guests to linger, whether for a peaceful daytime break or a quiet late-night retreat. The thoughtful design balances simplicity with sophistication, crafting a timeless, human-centered space that leaves a lasting impression of tranquility and comfort.
