KAA Design designed Mastro’s Ocean Club restaurant in the Crystals City Center on the Las Vegas strip. Layers of undulating mahogany beams and sapele wood structure form an organic structure based on a crustacean shell. Careful backlighting gives the feeling of being underwater. Glimmering elements act like rippling water and bare horizontal wood is reminiscent of the hull of a ship.
The 80ft “tree house” rises from the central public circulation area very unexpectedly. David Rockwell and the Rockwell Group designed this portion. It connects to less flashy dining venues behind. The entire concept is very fitting in this mall of open skylights and soaring edifices. It opened on February 5 2010.
