In the Salata Retro Ankara project, a distinctive and powerful atmosphere was created through metal panel applications that combine the venue’s retro character with modern touches. Textured metal surfaces used on the bar front facades and ceiling details, together with lighting, add depth and movement to the space, creating a striking visual impact. Throughout the project process, the balance between aesthetics and functionality—aligned with the restaurant concept—was prioritized, and a holistic design approach was adopted in material selection and application details. The resulting implementation strengthens the identity of the venue, offering a long-lasting solution with high architectural value that adds character to the space.
