For Those Who Love All Things Green: Minimal Modern Restaurant in Sao Paulo

There are different ways to add ‘green’ to an interior. Many go down a natural path and usher in green using indoor plants, herbs and succulents. But for those who wish to use paint to add green to an interior, this modern and minimal restaurant in Vila Nova Conceição neighborhood of Sao Paulo, Brazil offers ample inspiration. The redesigned family restaurant uses green in a generous manner with the lower half of every room inside the restaurant being painted in green while the top half is all white. This creates a curated and yet colorful interior with one space flowing into the next.
