Nobu
-New York City
Located in the heart of Manhattan
between 5th and 6th Avenues, Nobu
is a stylish and hip Japanese restaurant. Owned by Robert
De Niro, its cuisine satisfies the pallets of many A-list
celebrities who frequent this far-east dining establishment.
Infusing its smart modern décor with old world Asian pacific
flavor, Nobu’s atmosphere and ambiance is simply brilliant,
from floor to ceiling.
Rockwell Architecture was given the challenge of designing
this restaurant. In the past, Rockwell and Allen Sedaka
of Durite (our world-class terrazzo installer) have teamed
up to create award-winning results using Polymerica’s
epoxy terrazzo. With input from Shawmut Design and Construction,
this project allowed them to once again push the envelope
of what can be accomplished when new world technology meets
old world craftsmanship.
Actually, the design team went way outside the box by using
a combination of bamboo and jade fashioned into distinctive
circular patterns and mixed with a terrazzo matrix to create
something never before accomplished with this medium. One
look at the jaw-dropping floor and wall photos by photographer
Scott Frances, and you’ll see what we mean!
