In the historical place of Moscow, not far from the Triumphal Arch, in a quiet and cozy park, a restaurant with a laconic name “1812” has recently opened

Says the author of the project architect Boris Uborevich-Borovsky: “Peter Ziv, known as the man who was one of the founders of the Mario restaurant, suggested that we make a restaurant in the bank building. We immediately decided that this would be a modern interior with elements of classics. That is why classical chandeliers, framed mirrors, ivory-colored piano appeared here ... In “1812” there are three zones. There is a main hall with an open kitchen, a veranda that overlooks Kutuzov Avenue, and a music and cigar hall on the lower level. We always try to work not with color, but with material. Therefore, black ceilings, dark wood, black and white furniture were used. In order to create some accents in the interior and add color, we hung paintings by artists Dmitry Gaev-Orlov and Andrey Vereshchagin on the walls.

The kitchen behind the glass is not a new solution. But here it was applied specifically, because the restaurant has an eco-friendly coal grill, and, of course, the customer wanted visitors to see the process of cooking. It is always very interesting. The restaurant owner plans to open a culinary school in the future. As for the unusual architectural techniques, there are several. For example, the bar on the first level - the island. It is integrated into the layout of the space in order to make it easier for not only visitors but also waiters to navigate. And one more important point - an open terrace with a seamless panoramic glazing. Therefore, the interior can fully merge with the park of the street in 1812 ".
