Girasol
Restaurant
By: Mai Dao
Location:
11334 Moorpark Street Studio City, CA 91602
Outside of Girasol
The
restaurant opened on July 1st, Girasol means “sunflower” in Spanish,
and it is capable for around 120 people. I haven’t had chance to come here yet,
but it is a pretty cool place to explore in Los Angeles. Girasol is located
within the Studio City, where is not too crowed and is very peaceful. The
interior space was designed and decorated by well-known designer Gulla
Jondottir, who was born in Iceland and is also a founder of G+ Design. Girasol
was designed based on its name “sunflower”, the ceiling is installed the special
metal modern-art sunflower and using warm tone color to contrast with stone
backsplash which helps to create a great impression for anyone who comes to
this place. The room uses all the natural light by letting the sunlight goes
thru the ceiling and windows, and is decorated mostly with wood and stone so gives
the Girasol a visual of pure, green and opened-space for the customers. In my
opinion, the designer has successful created the restaurant based on
“sunflower” concept.
The waving lines
on the wall are perfectly fit with sunflower’s ceiling.
Inside of Girasol
I
really like how the textures are comparative from the floor to wall and the
ceiling; it is like petals of a sunflower. The color is very balance between
light and dark, the black on white. The floor is installed with whitewashed oak
wood, which is hard and durable therefore it is good for the traffic flow. The
space is a V-shape so the installation of dark stone flooring near the entrance
creates a focal point for the restaurant. For this strange shape, designer had
set the tables and chairs along the wall and bar that makes the traffic flow in
the between the area. The curved furniture is used so the restaurant can
balance between the angle and curve, and the space is also maximized in this
structure.
The white wall is installed with
concrete that applied the film-former on top, which protects wall from stains,
creates depth and gloss for the wall. The other wall is installed with the gray
and black stone tile backsplash, it matches with the stone flooring and the
black bar counter, which made of granite. Installation of granite for the bar
is the good choice for the restaurant because this counter top will serve the
wine and alcohol, and granite resists the acid from wine. The stone flooring is
a terrazzo installation, it made of marble chip, the terrazzo uses two main
colors are blue and black, to keep the floor in shape the constructor needs to
using the metal divider strip in the between two tone terrazzo.
The grey stone
backsplash matches with bar area and stone flooring

NICE SPACE
The theme of the sunflower is excellently used throughout this space without being too cliché. I particularly like the ceiling installation resembling the petals of the flower and how they draw your eye all the way through the space. The white washed oak floors are a perfect natural looking base that doesn’t detract from the other focal points as well as adds contrast in color to the dark Terrazzo. This is a beautiful restaurant. I wonder if the food is as good as the interior design calls for.
Such a neat interior... It isn't anything like what I was expecting from the initial exterior photo. The V-shape is surprising. And the detail in the metal ceiling is amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Great use of the waves in interior and exterior. the reception area looks a great focal point with the ceiling and the gray color! the colors of the interior give an elegant peaceful impression, and I love this building.
The design of this restaurant is almost curve, it makes me feel more relax when I come here.
Wow this restaurant is so appealing to the eye. I love the contrast from the light ceiling and walls to the dark focal point and bar area. The curvilinear lines also play well with the straight lines from the concrete and backsplashes. This restaurant isn't too far away and I'm considering going soon!
woah!! this totally caught my attention by the funky architecture. I also liked how you found the materials used.
This space is amazing! From the walls to the ceiling to the floors. So interesting and inspiring.
There is no denying that the facade of this restaurant is hard to miss. On the inside, the use of angles and lines makes me feel as if I am being swallowed by whale! A very stylish whale of course. Great furniture as well, specially the banquettes.
Both the exterior and interior of this space is so unique. I love the different textures and lines throughout the space. It creates so much visual interest. And I love the sunflower concept!
WOW, thank you for specifying all the furniture and materials! Really helpful. I love the use of curvilinear design throughout the space, it's really playful and soft. Also, loved the texture they used for walls, looks like there's tree roots growing underneath. Very organic!
Great idea! Thanks for sharing.

Porcelain is incredibly strong and durable, so it can be installed anywhere in your home, from floors to walls. However, there are some spaces that need extra consideration. For instance, when it comes to picking out porcelain tile shower tile, small-scale sizes and shapes will offer extra traction underfoot.
