Konak Pier Soiree Restaurant
Designed by DECOFEMME, the Konak Pier Soiree Restaurant in Izmir elegantly intertwines historic heritage with modern design through a captivating curved tree structure and harmonious material palette, enhancing the bay’s vibrant aesthetics.
Founded by Senior Interior Architect Tülin Gazi Özcan, DECOFEMME provides architectural and interior design services for offices, residences, hospitality, educational institutions, restaurants, and retail spaces. Designed by DECOFEMME, Soiree Restaurant blends the unique atmosphere of İzmir Bay with the historical traces of Konak Pier.
A key design element of the project is a curved abstract tree figure, which is both a structural component of the restaurant and a symbolic feature. This element reinforces the connection between the interior and exterior spaces, organizing circulation throughout the venue. Covering 295sqm of open space and 120sqm of indoor space, this distinctive feature enhances the Konak Pier Soiree’s flow, particularly within the bar area, contributing to the fluidity of the design.
One of the most crucial aspects of the design is the selection of materials and colors. To create a seamless transition between the historic masonry structure of Konak Pier and the shimmering blue reflections of the İzmir Bay, natural wood and marble elements were combined with shades of green. Additionally, mirrors were strategically placed throughout the venue to amplify the interaction between the building’s historic façade and the deep blue of the bay, ensuring that visitors experience this visual harmony from every angle.
