After a busy week of meetings and deadlines, the office found time to take a Sketch Day. The place chosen to sketch was Postinio in LoHI. This adventurous sketch day ended up being a quest for patio inspiration.
One of the projects being worked on at the time was a patio design for a restaurant with distinct design requirements. Postinio, coincidentally, has a beautiful, large patio and a unique interior design making it the perfect opportunity to get ideas and inspirations for our design. Interesting design elements about the restaurant include a wall made from books, stunning light fixtures, playful wall paper, and exceptional branding all the way from the space to the food plating.
The surroundings were also very inspiring to our creative minds. The patio we were sketching from was adjacent to other restaurants and beer gardens, making one continuously long porch. We were surrounded by beautiful, full trees in which one felt within them from the patio. Pockets of downtown or the neighboring park could be seen within little moments framed by the trees and large umbrellas.
It was a beautiful day to sketch outside and a great way to close out the summer.
