Cortina Restaurant, USA

A new restaurant serving Italian fare at the base of one of Seattle’s most prominent commercial office towers. The restaurant occupies a long L-shaped space, with the lobby and bar in one leg, a dining lounge at the corner, and booth seating and private dining in the other leg. The design emphasizes a strong connection to the street, and the building lobby and courtyard spaces, and also the maximization of natural light into the restaurant.
