Gökyüzü
Hospitality
Information
A trendy Turkish eatery offering diners a tantalising taste of the Mediterranean, Gökyüzü Finchley’s interior has been beautifully designed to reflect the rich heritage of the country that influenced its inception.
Solus teamed up with Katy Robinson, Director of Norfolk- based Moxon Design, to compose an original yet authentic aesthetic throughout the spacious three-storey restaurant.
Immediately setting the scene, a stunning star-shaped mosaic catwalk, featuring Solus’ triangular Brexon and Garten, and the rhombus-formed Flesk, sourced from the Halogen range, greets guests on arrival.
The emblem offers à la mode visuals with a nod to centuries of tradition, while its ecru, dove and raven shades provide a striking juxtaposition to the vibrant teal, rich burgundy and worn wood of the stylish setting.
The mosaic forms an eye-catching aisle through the dining space towards the bar where it has been expertly laid to create an appealing apron around the serving area. The vibrant metallic gold of Zingy and bold blue of Lusty, both from the Dynamic range, adorn the walls behind, providing a chic contrast with the rustic counter.
The concept is mirrored on the first floor where a bespoke mosaic path, composed of slate-effect Bromine from Solus' Cosmology range, directs diners through the space towards the bar area where Dynamic’s Zingy and Lusty have again been used to create a statement wall.
The Eastern theme continues in the second-floor washrooms where the hexagonal design of Focus from the Serif range presents a dynamic aesthetic on the floor, complementing the cool, glossy tones of crackle-effect Satchley tiles from the Harlo range which bedeck the walls.
