This concept is further reinforced by the concept of dark vs. light from a finish standpoint along with the changes in ceiling heights. The ceiling design incorporates elevation changes to help define the space, focus the viewer on the show, and create the appropriate mood. Concepts of dark/low vs light/high were incorporated to further enforce the desired experience of the space and the Ying and Yang concept. The fine dining space utilized darker, richer tones to evoke a sense of luxury, intimacy, and of slowing down and rest. This area features deep woods, leathers, plush fabrics, and dark flooring, contributing to an elegant dining experience. In contrast the casual dining features lighter, upbeat colors with high gloss finishes and polished metals, creating a light, active, warm, and inviting atmosphere.
