Restaurant Interior Design | Nebo Restaurant | Boston | Marcus Gleysteen Architects,

Nebo is located within the historic Russia Wharf building on Atlantic Avenue in Boston. The new restaurant space is oriented to maintain views of the Greenway and its urban context, as well as utilize existing pedestrian patterns.

The original storefront was maintained, and a new window was added to further emphasize the visual connection to the site. Fourteen-foot vaulted brick ceilings supported by riveted steel columns on concrete floors provide an original and utterly authentic setting for a Seaport District restaurant.

A custom handcrafted steel wine-rack floats above, and the rack’s milk-glass and perforated steel shelves filter light down through the bottles. Existing brick walls were left exposed, and the dining room is anchored along the far side by a reclaimed-limestone wall. The natural character of these raw materials sets a backdrop to the tables, open kitchen, and large wood-fired copper oven.......more
