Jacko’s Project of The Week Interior Designer: EL EQUIPO CREATIVO Client: nhow Hotel Project: Full Turnkey - Restaurant / Bar Fit Out Location: Amsterdam - Nhow Hotel Rai A quick trip across the North Sea for this weeks POTW, as we head to Amsterdam to cast our eye over this spectacular Restaurant / Bar Fit Out for nhow Hotel, Selva restaurant & Sonora Cocktail Bar. Expertly designed by EL EQUIPO CREATIVO Perched atop the 24th floor of the nhow hotel in Amsterdam, Barcelona-based interior design studio El Equipo Creativo has unveiled a verdant, colour-drenched bar and restaurant duo specialising in Latin American cuisine. Transforming what was once an industrial, somewhat cold building set amongst an equally urban environment, Selva restaurant and Sonora cocktail bar together resemble a warm, inviting tropical oasis distinguished by soft, organic silhouettes, textured finishes and a vibrant colour palette. Contrasting its urban surroundings – visible through the floor-to-ceiling glass façade designed by Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas – Selva restaurant began with a forest green canvas designed to convey a jungle-like atmosphere. The studio then partially covered the striking glazed façade with wicker, rope and wood panels, and crafted a set of undulating wooden structures in a warm, rich grain. From the curved ceiling structures evoking a tropical river – illuminated by carefully placed, ambient task lighting – hangs a selection of bright tropical plants and flowers, reflected across the floorplan by large, varied houseplants lining the seating booths, windows, and in-house bar. Continuing this rainforest aesthetic, the restaurant’s vibrant colour palette takes inspiration from tropical birds, flowers and even poisonous animals – from the red banquette seating and yellow armchairs to the glossy turquoise wall tiles.
