"Nothing could be removed, so the designer and I crawled through the attic, bent over in three deaths and scrubbed the old roof," says Svetlana Pisarskaya. So the attic wooden beams gave a new life to the Moscow mansion of the beginning of the twentieth century - now here is the restaurant "Rybny Bazar" (Trekhprudny Lane, 10/2). The architects tightened the backside of the roof with a glass ceiling - it turned out to be a kind of aquarium that blends seamlessly into the space. Allusions associated with the ship-maritime theme appear in a metal grid associated with fishing nets, in the "deck" oak parquet, in the author's photographs of Ekaterina Golitsyna on the topic "Eyes of Fish". An exhaust hood consisting of three smooth steel pipes and located above an open showcase with fresh fish is a necessary attribute of every self-respecting fish restaurant: the smell should not spread throughout the room. The almost indistinguishable design hint at European modernity does not spoil the impression, rather, on the contrary, it makes you understand that this establishment is not about publication, but “about food”.
