It functions as a [wine bar and fine dining space](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atelier-sun) in an old industrial building in Ottawa. The studio tapped inspiration from Montreal's [retro dining spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seasonallychanging-menu) -- this references the tonal palette of brown, cream, and caramel. To add a pop of contrast, the interiors are also adorned with burnt orange and blue detailing. Ivy Studio speaks about the restaurant and its design concept, stating "The establishment, led by a head chef with deep roots in Quebec and years of experience in Ottawa, aims to showcase a blend of both cultures through the eyes of a nostalgic francophone residing in the country's capital.
