STORY
The history of the facility began at the end of 2021.
The ”Forgot the Sugar “ restaurant project was aimed to blend two desires of the owners:
to create a fresh design for a flagship restaurant in a modern minimalist style while maintaining the recognizable interior concept of the cafe-patisserie chain “Forgot the Sugar”. The first was open 7 years ago.
For this purpose a space with high ceilings and huge windows was chosen in the new modern elite residential complex One Trinity Place on the Admiral Lazarev embankment in St. Petersburg.

PLANNING SOLUTION
The restaurant area is divided into several zones:
- Technology area: an open kitchen space right at the entrance. Then a bar counter comes
with a confectionery showcase and a coffee area.
-Guest area: an L-shaped hall where you can see a bar table along the window and guest seats in the center
and around the perimeter of the hall.
-Wine room is well seen behind a glass wall.
- Guest Wash area is separated from the hall just by a curtain.

IDEA
Exploring a spacious space with a high ceiling in a modern elite residential complex
I decide to work out minimalistic interior design with the main focus on the ceiling
which everyone will pay attention to and remember.
The ceiling height (4.4 meters) made it possible to implement this idea as well as technical communications:
ventilation, sprinkler system and other networks.
So far, for the shape of the ceiling, it was proposed to use large and curved shapes
with a drop of up to 1.4 meters in hight, resembling the shape of lush clouds in a new modern interpretation.
Here I should say that a huge cloud above was used as a signature feature
for all interiors of «Forgot the Sugar» cafe-patisserie chain.
As an additional reference to the previous interiors of the cafe-patisserie chain “Forgot the Sugar”
was offered the Terrazzo floor that resembles 1000 cubes of refined sugar.
