# Earthy Restaurant Designs Studio Wok Draws Inspiration from the Local Landscape for New Restaurant By Francesca Mercurio | Published 2021-08-10 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-wok References: [designboom](https://www.designboom.com/architecture/empty-spaces-earthy-tones-myrto-restaurant-italy-studio-wok-08-10-2021/) & [studiowok](https://www.studiowok.com/en/) A Milan-based architecture firm has redesigned a restaurant in Porto Cervo, Italy, and has created an ultra welcoming space. The newly designed Myrto Restaurant draws on the local Italian landscape - the sea, the warm sunlight, and granite rocks. The interior of the restaurant is as [minimalist as can be](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sko-restaurant), which creates a serene and uber calming space. The windows and entranceways are softly rounded, which makes the space feel like a cave. The neutral tones of the walls and floors speak to the Mediterranean lifestyle and results in a site-specific project. The neutral space is completed with green accents and red light fixtures. The restaurant seamlessly leads to an outdoor patio that continues the neutral aesthetic.
