Decimo Bistro
Located in Skopelos Island’s picturesque port, Lab4 architects designed Decimo to embody traditional Greek bistro blended with metropolitan references.
With plenty of beverage choices and continental tastes, great emphasis is given on handcrafted specialties, based on local premium products.
The owners’ eagerness to regional quality through an up-to-date approach, inspired the architects to follow the same “recipe” on the construction progress. The search for local craftsmen in order to create a space totally adjusted to the island’s character was the initial goal. The next step was the creative blending of all selected traditional design features with European bistro influences, from various periods, adding a more cosmopolitan touch.
The space is subdivided into three parallel zones. The first one is the outdoor dine-in space with customers’ seating. The second one includes the centrally placed bar which prevails in the space with its horizontal layout. The third one accumulates all the auxiliary spaces, including the meals preparation area, storage room, and WC.
The meals preparation area is showcased within the store through the use of a glass partition which permits the optical connection with the clients. The bar design highlights the production area, offering a clean serving surface.
Clean-cut lines and rounded edges create a modern sense, pointing out the nautical design identity. Great priority was given to the selection of natural materials, such as oak wood and Naxos marble. The addition of decorative geometric tiles, aged brick coatings, as well as grey-blue shades, complete the overall result.
