TATTU RESTAURANT & BAR

LOCATION: Dubai, United Arab Emirates

Perched high above the glittering Dubai skyline, this project seamlessly blends storytelling and design in a space inspired by myth and movement.

Guests arrive beneath a sculptural canopy of cherry blossoms — a signature installation that flows gracefully into the adjacent Champagne Lounge, where framed views of the Palm and open skies create a stunning backdrop.

Stepping into TATTU, WYZE has crafted a design rooted in legend — the eternal dance of the White and Black Dragons, symbols of duality and balance: light and dark, bar and restaurant, yin and yang.

The architecture carries a temple-like reverence, while fluid, sinuous forms echo the elegance of a dragon in motion.

Materiality is key to expressing this contrast. The restaurant embraces a darker, more atmospheric palette — shousugiban timber, richly veined marble, amethyst glass, and hand-painted silks — reflecting the depth of the Black Dragon.

In contrast, the bar is shaped by the White Dragon’s influence, with a lighter palette of white-washed timber, onyx, mirror, and pewter.

Expansive views across Dubai Marina offer a front-row seat to some of the city’s most spectacular sunsets. Two private dining rooms complete the experience, offering intimate, elevated spaces where story, form, and atmosphere come together.
