Design visualizations
The concept, made spatial.
These views translate Asmar's authored plans, elevations and material direction into a plausible interior. They are design visualizations, not photographs of a completed project.

Portrait panels, cactus planting, ceramic plates and a statement chandelier bring the focal-wall elevation into spatial form.

The decisions behind the view.
The original project drawing remains the source of truth for layout, circulation and the major spatial relationships developed through the case study.

Dinner, nightlife and a wide audience.
Set within a glazed DIFC high-rise, Luna Y Sol was planned as a restaurant that could move naturally from dinner into a more energetic late-night setting. The brief called for more than 70 covers, a broad audience and a room that felt happy, lively and approachable while retaining a clear sense of luxury.
The central design problem was one of balance: abundance without visual disorder, a strong cultural identity without losing modern clarity, and a floor plan that could support both structured dining and a more social DJ-bar atmosphere.
Saturated colour, layered ceramics and abundant florals establish a convivial tone.

A maximalist palette, held in balance.
The visual language draws on mosaic and terracotta tile, bougainvillea, cacti, velvet and fringe. Saturated pink, cobalt, turquoise, orange and yellow create energy, while pale flooring and repeated planning modules give the composition a quieter base.
These references are assembled as atmosphere and material studies—not photographs of a completed venue. They show how colour, tactility and cultural motifs were translated into a coherent spatial direction.
Warm stucco, a cobalt handrail and bougainvillea informed the saturated palette.

Density without losing social variety.
The furniture plan distributes seating through long and curved banquettes, loose tables, lounge groupings and bar seating. Patterned floor fields distinguish zones without closing them off, while the glazed perimeter remains visually connected to the skyline.
The result supports the capacity target while preserving different scales of experience—from intimate tables and curved booths to open lounge moments and a more theatrical bar setting.
The line plan clarifies circulation between bar, dining, banquette and service zones.

Pattern and light guide the room.
The reflected ceiling plan combines feature chandeliers, decorative pendants, dimmable recessed lights and accent strips. The finish plan repeats patterned tile at key thresholds and seating zones, using changes in surface to orient movement through an otherwise open floor plate.
Together, the drawings carry the initial atmosphere into coordinated spatial, lighting and finish decisions.
Feature chandeliers, pendants, recessed lighting and accent strips form a layered lighting plan.
