Kübey Tapas Bar is located in Vienna within a historic building, along with its adjacent outdoor dining areas. The project develops a holistic spatial and graphic identity, exploring the coexistence of a newly constructed brand language within a historical context. Dining areas, bar and kitchen spaces, and outdoor seating are designed as a cohesive system—warm, legible, and oriented toward a communal experience. Interventions within the existing structure include the removal of suspended ceilings to reveal and exhibit original frescoes, contributing to the spatial identity and reinforcing the dialogue between past and present.

The project extends beyond architecture into the creation of the brand’s spatial language, visual communication, and narrative-driven elements. Inspired by Anatolian mythology, concepts related to food, pleasure, and nourishment are translated into symbols, later materialized as 60 ceramic sculptures hand-crafted by ceramic artist Bilge Sayarlıoğlu and produced in Turkey. The outdoor structure, placed at the frontage, establishes a delicate balance with its surroundings while extending the identity of the venue into the public realm.
