MIRATE

OUR PERSPECTIVE

MÍRATE BRINGS AN ARTFUL JUXTAPOSITION OF OLD WORLD INTRICACY AND MODERN SIMPLICITY TO THE LA'S LOS FELIZ NEIGHBORHOOD.  ADEAN STUDIOS UTILIZED INTRICATE PATTERNS, TEXTILES AND MATERIALS FROM CONCRETE TO VELVET TO ADD INTEREST AND COMPLEXITY TO THE SPACE. INSPIRED BY THE 1920S COLONIAL FURNISHINGS OF OAXACA’S LA VERDE ANTEQUERA INCLUDING EYE-CATCHING COLUMNS, FRINGED LIGHT PIECES AND WICKER FURNISHINGS, MÍRATE WAS DESIGNED TO CREATE A SENSE OF INTRIGUE AND CURIOSITY THROUGHOUT THE RESTAURANT AND BAR SPACES. TO ACCOMPLISH THIS, ADEAN MINDFULLY GAVE EACH A DISTINCT FEELING OF ITS OWN FROM THE DARK AND INTIMATE MEZCALERIA EMITTING A WARM GLOW TO THE TOP LEVEL MEZZANINE WITH VIEWS OVERLOOKING THE CITY’S ICONIC GRIFFITH OBSERVATORY. PULLING FROM THE HISTORY OF THE COMMUNITY AND ITS REVERED ARCHITECTS, ADEAN CRAFTED BANQUETTE AREAS WITH A STACKED PATTERN REMINISCENT OF FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT’S EPONYMOUS ENNIS HOUSE IN LOS FELIZ, ONE OF THE PREDOMINANT RESIDENTIAL EXAMPLES OF MAYAN REVIVAL ARCHITECTURE IN THE COUNTRY. VIVID COLORS AND VINTAGE SOURCED RUGS ALONG WITH LUSH GREENERY––INCLUDING A 40 FOOT LIVE OAK TREE THAT SERVES AS A FOCAL POINT––ADD INTEREST TO THE NATURAL EARTHED MATERIALS OF THE STRUCTURE.
