Primavera is an Italian restaurant and pizzeria that opened in February 2011 at the Ritz Carlton in Bahrain. The 2,200 sqf tenant improvement is atmospherically distinct; a series of unique and private dining areas infused with evocative natural materials and a rich and refined menu.

A large mural on the large south wall creates a strong graphic and spatial identity portraying a volumetric representation of Boticelli's Primavera, evoking the rhythmic yet varied nature of the seasonal changes. The rhythm of embossed nature shifts from evenly parallel between the trees to randomly through Botticelli's attention to character, giving a gravitational weight to the wall and infusing the space with vibrant reflections and pattern.

Descending over courtyard opening is a deep porous soffit that undulates over the hotel gardens, filtering natural and artificial light and housing the restaurant wine collection. The naturally bright green wall at the private dining animate the space with seasonal color intensities creating 3d optical effects as the viewer moves that recall the visual wonders of Boticelli's primavera forest.
