An exquisite Asset Restaurant at 329 Columbus avenue in Manhattan, designed by New York design firm Bates Masi+Architects. With the renovation of the building and the addition of hundreds of years of history, each iteration left traces, representing them as oddly placed columns or textures seeping through successive layers of paint.
       Bates Masi+Architects sought to excavate the existing space for a unique texture and traces of the past to enrich the guest experience. In renovating the restaurant, Bates Masi+Architects found the architectural character of Manhattan to be the most modest.
       Each material and hue of the interior reflects some of the space's history, and the former retail store has been transformed to create a variety of dining experiences: lively parties at the bar, a special family gathering restaurant for private occasions and comfortable banquet seating. Each space is tailored for a specific experience, but cohesive in texture and detail.
