Background

Panevino is located in Avery Fisher Hall within the famous New York City Lincoln Center landmark. Panevino is an Italian restaurant serving authentic Tuscan fare to both Lincoln Center patrons as well as the general public for dinner. The restaurant and bar is approximately 3,200 SF. TCA's primary concern in renovating the restaurant and bar was to unify the spaces by creating a cohesive architectural setting and designating elements in each space that could be treated in a similar fashion.

Design Goals

TCA designed a lightweight prefabricated panel wall system made out of powdercoated steel and lumasite that was easily assembled on site within three days. This allowed the restaurant to be open for most of the construction period. The new lumasite walls have internal light fixtures that illuminate the surrounding walls to create favorable evening dining atmosphere.

Aesthetics

The furniture, fabric selections and finishes are all of warm gold tones that complement the natural stone and bronze used in Lincoln Center therefore making the restaurant befitting of and at the same time comfortable in such a large, grand space. The overall effect is a very modern and elegant dining space that is at ease in the celebrated historic Lincoln Center.
