Haute Dolci

The brief

A ribbon-cut flagship in Grand Avenue for a British hospitality group launching in the Gulf. Public-facing, photograph-ready, and running a wet-kitchen directly above a live mall corridor.

A dessert room is sculpture for a queue. You can see it from thirty metres down the mall; you touch it from a centimetre away at the counter. We held both scales — a ribbed GRC facade that folds into a double-height GRG dome, then walnut joinery close enough to run a finger on.

A dome above the counter

The central GRG dome is 1,200 mm high by 6 m across — cast, moulded and lifted into place in four coffered sections, then hand-painted antique gold.
