The project is about the architectural proposal and implementation study for the reconstruction of a 155.00 sq.m. restaurant located in the center of Uppsala, Sweden, which will open its doors in August 2022. Sverre is on the ground floor of a large shopping mall that is being completely renovated to house commercial buildings and 79 modern rental houses. Its design reflects a particular urban landscape, as Uppsala is one of Sweden's oldest cities. 
What was the inspiration behind this proposal? 
First of all, the restaurant is named after Sverre district, which is located in the city center along the Vaksala Torg (Vaksala square) that is known for the Uppsala Concert, Shopping & Convention Center. The Vaksala Torg is surrounded by many old listed buildings of Scandinavian architecture with strong traditional local elements. Also, Sverre Sigurdsson (1184 - 1202) was a king and the husband of Margarita Erikstadter, daughter of Swedish King Henry the IX. Therefore, the inspiration for the design, name and brand of the building came also by the meaning of the words “clean, urban and royal".

The floor plan combines multiple active zones and consists of two dining areas, that is the main space and a more private one, which can be used for hosting corporate events. The harmonious combination of strict and laconic functional zones is the main idea of this interior. We chose to create simple overall aesthetics, so as to emphasize the view, the most special feature of the restaurant. High ceilings and large panoramic windows -along the main facade- bring more natural light in the interior. The color palette and textures were carefully chosen to reflect its urban character.

Finally, great importance in the design was also given to the relationships-contrasts of the materials: wood, cement, tile, leather, metal, light and dark shades that create a warm, comfortable, and special environment.
