: Bosscat strove to be a Green building which uses mostly reclaimed materials, meanwhile. The challenge was that the limited number of sustainable materials tended to dictate a special type of design, rather than design dominating the material selection. Careful use of material, lighting, and furniture was necessary to preserve the focal character of the restaurant.
Also size of the space gave us the challenge of creating different zones and private areas for different type of dinning and activities.
