Ultimate conciseness in the design of the house - a feature that is found in every detail, in every line. But this restraint is fraught with implicit expression. From the earthly life here - a cozy atmosphere of a European restaurant, nightly bustle, a string of cars, delivering gourmets, smiling French cook, excellent cuisine and three floors of comfort. From the life of the craft - two sailors, credited to the state, deck floors and a unique staircase, more like a ship's ladder. (The uniqueness of the staircase lies in its design: 27 wooden steps are held by two curved stainless steel kosoura.) Living near the water is not the same as living on water. Inhabitants of embankments are at best able to roll their eyes languidly when they see a stunning view. Inhabitants of the water area, on the contrary, are not greedy for cheap sentiments. Their life is strict and regulated, but from this much more romantic. By the way, “Aquarelle” became the first restaurant in St. Petersburg with a panoramic view from the windows. It is likely that due to this circumstance many competitors will lose part of their regulars. It is all to blame - whether the fusion fashion has reached the city of Petersburg, or the successful “parking” of a new restaurant not far from the Spit of Vasilyevsky Island. For us, the mod with parking is a minor thing. For us, the main thing in "Watercolors" is the root of aqua, and in the interior - purity of design.
