The half-destroyed Asian village, covered with a glass bell jar, is very similar to the archaeological museum. So the space declares itself in the new Kharkov restaurant "Bukhara" (Pushkinskaya st., 32). The construction rests on a single steel cable-stayed structure, creating the impression that the building seems to be hanging above the ground. Through the sliding doors of the side facade space flows into the square, destroying the edge that usually separates the interior from the exterior. As befits a museum, the exhibits indoors personify the ancient Bukhara. First of all, these are mud chairs and sofas, intentionally made by handicraft and almost authentic. Bar counter played as a market stall in a rich oriental bazaar. The decorated wall delicately hides the kitchen and all technical rooms from the eyes of visitors. Her ornament is made as a traditional bridesmaid coverlet, made of pieces of carpet and inlaid with glass beads. And an integral part of the Asian house - the tandoor - is present in the hall not only as an exhibit. In it bake fresh, hot cakes.
