Concept Statement 

The concept for the restaurant is a vineyard. A vineyard is a place filled with history. The roots that have been growing for years create a new grape every season. With the  new season comes a new taste, this new taste has been turned into the new look of the  of the Affiner. Affiner is filled with the rich history that comes with the vineyard. A vineyard has multiple rows of perfectly straight vines that produce a uniform look. Using straight lines to create depth and dimension in the restaurant so that it  mimics the uniformity a vineyard has.  Using the natural dark green from the vines to create a warm environment that  contrasts from gold finishes. The lighting fixtures are polished gold to create a shimmer that white wine grapes have when the sun hits them. To balance the polished  gold and dark green the use of black and  white are placed the interior.

Furniture Plan

The only arrow on the page is pointing to the main entrance, where all guests will come through. Upon entering the restaurant the guest will see the hostess-stand to the left of them. 

Reflected Ceiling Plan

To accomplish a unique experience in the different seating sections the ceiling heights and shapes differ. The base of the ceiling height starts at 14’ - 0” then rises up to 15’ - 0”. The two long rectangle shapes are barrel vaults with cove lighting to show the shape of it.
