Located in Cherry Creek, , ’s Second Home is a five star hotel restaurant.  Andre Kikoski Architect, PLLC is a multidisciplinary firm that is committed to artistic innovation, material research, and detail-oriented design.  For Second Home, Kikoski “created an approachable and comfortable locale…with a playful, contemporary restaurant and lounge. The design strategy embraces textural contrast and celebrates the dissonance of eclectic elements to create a truly memorable patron experience.”

More about the interior after the break.

The unembellished dry-stack stone walls and rough-hewn wood plank ceilings highlight the organic textures of the Rocky Mountains.  These subdue components are combined with bold design elements such as Italian chandeliers, graffiti-covered Danish chairs, and cowhide upholstered walls.  The two styles work to create a welcoming atmosphere for dining by balancing the “somber geometry” with ornate focal pieces.

The restaurant also includes an open-air patio defined by a 15-foot open flame fire pit that “is highly original and sure to be a popular gathering place.” Communal tables, comfortable banquettes and an open kitchen with an open-flame pizza oven complete the warm and inviting qualities of the space.

Andre Kikoski also has upcoming projects at the Guggenheim Museum and the Museum for African Art.

this is really a beautiful project. the color palette creates an elegant place to dine. i enjoy the details in the material choices and the balance of geometry– it all reflects back to the location and surroundings. love it.

I sure hope the food is incredible. The place will need more than these empty gestures to create a draw.
