以摄影的守护神圣韦洛尼加为名，Fotografiska画廊内的Veronika餐厅是光线、形式与构图的格式塔。餐厅由Roman and Williams所构思，他们以充满尊重和创新的方式，将建于1894年的历史悠久的布扎风格大楼Church Missions House进行了重新构想。客户通过一条暮色走廊进入二楼，Veronika的故事欢迎顾客进入一段意想不到的旅程。在酒吧区，一幅神秘的波西米亚森林风景壁画展现了绘画与摄影之间的概念交汇。它以质朴的土色与青绿的色调来激发摄影与绘画二者之间的张力，让人想起蒙德里安的早期作品。吧台将男性气概与女性气质并置，超越年代。打磨的黑色St. Laurent大理石被用于吧台，与周围壁画黎明时的阴影形成对比。本地产的彩色玻璃花窗成为墙体的一部分，平衡中和了周围的壁画。

Named for the Patron Saint of Photography, aesthetically Veronika at Fotografiska is a gestalt of light, form, and composition conceived by Roman and Williams, they re-envisioned with respect and innovation the historical 1894 Beaux-Arts Church Missions House. Patrons enter on the second floor through a twilight colored hallway, where the narrative of Veronika welcomes you to a journey of the unexpected. In the bar area, a mystical bohemian forest landscape mural connects the relationship between painting and photography at the cusp of its conception. Celebrating the tension between the two with earthy and cyan tones, it is reminiscent of the early work of Mondrian. The bar juxtaposes the eccentricities of feminine and masculine, transcending eras you can’t quite place. Honed Black St. Laurent marble on the bar contrasts with the shades of dawn in the surrounding mural that is offset by the native stained glass window that was rescued and used as part of the wall.

当步入餐厅时，这种混合延续了住宅中富丽堂皇的精致，高耸的天花板上悬挂着巨大的黄铜吊灯，模仿着带有微光的皇冠。在这里，温暖的灯光设计全部由Roman and Williams创造，点亮柔和的自然色彩和浅色橡木地板。由Roman and Williams设计的扁平拱有着细致的木材镶边处理，呈现出从19世纪初到20世纪中叶不断演变的纹饰和几何形状。曲线山羊毛深座椅与拱形靠背参考了房间的建筑形式，将使用者拥入其中。有着优雅色调的抛光Rosa Perlino大理石桌面搭配定制蛋形灯。一系列涂黑的黄铜拱门以契里柯的画作为灵感，将现代主义的二元对立引入用餐区的浪漫情调，并作为通往厨房的入口。即使在盥洗室，这种天外世界般的体验也从未缺席，深红色、紫色、蓝色与黑色的多彩石头组合构成了40年代意大利式的复古时尚。

This hybrid continues in residential meets palatial refinement as you move into the dining rooms, where soaring ceilings hold massive brass chandeliers that emulate crowns with tiny points of light. Here, the warmth of the lighting design, completely created by Roman and Williams, illuminates the soft palette of natural colors and pale oak floors. Flattened arches with detailed wood trim edging them, invented by Roman and Willaims, render enfilades and geometries that evolved from the early 19 to the mid 20 Century. Curvaceous and deep mohair seating with an arched back hugs you and references the architecture of the room. Polished, elegant hued Rosa Perlino marble tabletops are graced with custom egg-shaped lights. A series of de Chirico inspired, blackened brass arched doorways provides a dichotomy of modernism to the romance of the dining area and serves as the entrance to the kitchen. Skillfully, the otherworldly experience plays out even in the lavatories with chic 40s Italian style mix of beautiful stones in dark reds, purples, blues, and blacks.
