Rodrigo Rodrigues designs Restaurante Ainá, which is intimately connected to the sea. The name, which means happiness in Japanese, was chosen by chef Vini Figueira, who contributed to the space's identity. The architect also had the collaboration of designer Aristeu Pires, and brought wood as a central element, present in the furniture. The project preserves traces of the place's original architecture, adding sustainable materials and highlighting different lighting and woodwork elements. The design highlights the large glass profiles, which transform the sea into a natural picture, as well as the bar, show kitchen, wine cellar and a balcony surrounded by gardens.
