We just received pictures of the latest contemporary project from architect David Coluzzi DAZ of Sor Duilio, restaurant and fish market in Rome, Italy.  The main objective of this establishment was to combine selling fresh fish to retail and restaurant, a unique concept, have a look at the pictures and let us know what you think. Here is a project description from the architect:

The idea is to combine the activity of selling fresh fish to retail and restaurant. The concept is based on the combination of elements that evoke the sea, as in a boat that floats surrounded by sea and fish scales. The ‘cold atmosphere of the fish market is interspersed with wooden elements in the food to make the atmosphere cozy and warm. The restaurant consists of two large rooms, the first is entry is dedicated to retail businesses and cocktail tables with lighting point, the second room features tables with benches covered as in a ship. The story of Sor Duilio is told on the walls thanks to large photographic prints vintage interspersed with backlit displays.

The volumes that emerge from the walls are covered in wood and give the place a scan irregular breaking the rigidity of the pre-existence as elements of a wreck. these elements are inserted into the line of the horizon between sky and sea.
