An Oasis in the Sky - SELVA RESTAURANT -
EL EQUIPO CREATIVO has completed the interior design of Selva Restaurant in Amsterdam . Located on the 24th floor of the Nhow Hotel , Selva Restaurant offers Latin American cuisine with a tropical twist . The restaurant ’ s design blends organic shapes , natural materials , and vibrant colors to create a lush and exotic experience . Additionally , sharing the same floor , but in separate spaces , the Sonora Cocktail Bar complements the experience with bold tropical cocktails .
Starting point The initial space felt cold and industrial , enclosed by a striking floor-to-ceiling glass façade designed by the architectural team OMA , led by Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas . It boasted spectacular views of Amsterdam ’ s outskirts , filled with highways and new constructions , making the view of the city the main focus . One of the primary challenges was transforming this space into a warm , jungle-like environment that contrasted with the city ’ s hardness .
