Located Belgium coast near the dunes in Knokke, there is a stunning project DUNAS restaurant waiting to be discovered. The talented team at Grain Design Office, an interior architecture firm, has skillfully captured the essence of the surrounding environment - the sea and the dunes. By incorporating a captivating blend of natural materials and colors, this interior design firm has successfully captured the soul of the North Sea. Imagine uniquely shaped benches made of prefabricated stamped concrete by Enjoy Concrete, complemented by a floor subtly adorned with shell fragments. These benches, crafted from rammed concrete and adorned with soft cushions, epitomize the essence of the new Dunas restaurant's interior. Their organic forms appear as if they were sculpted by the wind against the wall. 

Utilizing Aalborg White cement, rammed concrete may be considered niche, but it possesses a strong aesthetic appeal. Its roughly textured surface embodies an architectural aesthetic that harmonizes with the coastal location and living scene of this project. As you dine, a curved and robust architecture concrete back wall encloses a cluster of benches, creating a sense of intimacy and security.
