Omar Gandhi Architects has designed the Prime Seafood Palace in Toronto, Canada.

Prime Seafood Palace was imagined as a light-filled wood cathedral, lining an otherwise inconspicuous existing brick-clad building in Toronto.

"This was an exercise in carrying the refinement of [our] residential work through to this commercial project," said Omar Gandhi Architects.

The principal goal of the project was to create a timeless space, with local, natural materials that develop a patina and continue to enrich the restaurant over time.

"Designing with wood and light was the starting point for the design," added Omar Ghandi Architects. "The neutral material palette creates a backdrop for the main act, the unpretentious but exceptional food of cherished Canadian chef Matty Matheson."

This project has been shortlisted in the restaurant and bar interior category of Dezeen Awards 2023.
