The Fi Makan Restaurant | Isabel Gomez Studio | Architect of the Year Awards 2022

Isabel Gomez Studio: Winner of Architect of the Year Awards 2022. The commercial space really emulates a countryside escape. The brief was to create a “whimsical retreat”, “a slice of Mediterranean vibe” in the rainy heart of Europe Brussels city. To manifest this vision, the designers envisioned a highly residential vibe, complete with tactile fabrics, patterns, and eye-catching colour combinations. The space evokes an eclectic and sensorial environment open to a cosy terrace.

We did not skimp on details. Bespoke, ornate lights and regal ceramic in the restrooms add a
dramatic feeling to the tableau.
The idea of offering areas with different atmospheres makes the space very versatile so that we can
enjoy either a cocktail at the custom made bar, a quick bite looking at the street or relax with a good
book and a glass of wine in the curved velvet furnishings.
