Located in the heart of Damascus, AURA was designed as a holistic expression of the healthy food concept, extending beyond the traditional restaurant experience to create a space where architecture, brand identity, and the way food is prepared come together in a contemporary and inviting environment.
The 150 m² restaurant was designed around the concept of an open kitchen, making food preparation an integral part of the visual experience and creating a sense of transparency and connection between the kitchen and the guests. A dedicated salad bar was also introduced, allowing customers to create and customize their own salads according to their preferences.
The interior design is defined by a calm and warm aesthetic, built around a neutral palette of beige tones and natural materials. Travertine and wooden flooring create a warm and understated backdrop, while touches of mauve, inspired by AURA’s brand identity, add character and a distinctive visual accent to the space.
To reinforce the connection with nature, integrated planters were incorporated along the bar, adding greenery while subtly defining the different areas of the interior. The seating was distributed between indoor and outdoor spaces, offering variety in the dining experience while maintaining a smooth and functional flow throughout the restaurant.
The design language extends into the exterior, where the AURA logo was transformed into a large-scale artistic feature on the exterior wall, turning the brand symbol into an architectural element and creating a strong visual connection between the restaurant’s identity and its physical space.
AURA brings together contemporary simplicity, warmth, and a vibrant sense of identity, creating a spatial experience that reflects the philosophy of healthy dining while making design an integral part of the overall experience.
