Contrasting elements fill Imperfecto restaurant in Washington DC by OOAK
Marble, wood and brass are among the eclectic materials found in an upscale eatery in Washington DC that was designed by Greek-Swedish studio OOAK Architects.
Located in the US capital's West End neighbourhood, Imperfecto serves up a fusion of Mediterranean and Latin American cuisine.
Imperfecto is a Mediterranean and Latin American restaurant
The restaurant was designed by OOAK Architects, an Athens- and Stockholm-based studio, with input from the photographer and art director Yiorgos Kordakis. OOAK won the commission through an invited competition.
While designing the space, the team took inspiration from Mediterranean motifs, such as a blue-and-white colour scheme, along with the restaurant's overall essence.
Upon entering, one finds a maître-d stand made of burl wood Imperfecto is described as a "culinary experience whose imperfection derives from the divine synthesis of seemingly incompatible elements, worlds and aesthetic identities".
Rectangular in plan, the restaurant seats 98 guests. The front of the house is divided into three zones: a bar, a main dining room and a chef's table.
OOAK paired neutral tones with splashes of blue
