(Phantom) l’Opéra Restaurant, Paris

A fantastic example of merging historical restoration with a wholly future-facing vision, French architect Odile Decq has just unveiled the design of the (Phantom) L’Opéra Restaurant, Paris.

The space is characterised by fluid interiors crafted in a palette of glossy reds and whites – offering a stark, exceptionally fresh interpretation of the impressive domed Palais Garnier opera house in Paris.

In order not to affect the existing structure, the new additions stand away from the walls, and an undulating glass façade has been installed behind the external arches through which diners enter.
