Regardless of its size, there's an entryway, counter, preparation space, bathroom, and seating area. Most of the design effort is expended on the seating, entry, and storefront. The seating is bounded on the walls and ceiling by cardboard holders laid flat and set into steel frames. The entry wall is a composition of plastic lids used as a formwork for a plastic wall. While these clearly talk about coffee culture, they don't shout it to the point of kitsch. The space is tasteful and cozy, traits any coffee shop would be proud of.
**NOTE: Ini Ani is has closed after being open a little over three years.**

Raimund Abraham
 
Completion:
2002
 
Description:
Abraham beat 225 other competitors in the 1992 competition for this 24-story tower on a tiny site in midtown Manhattan. The building's angled front ("The Mask") responds to New York's zoning requirements, while also creating a striking image for the Institution.
 
The main stair (worth a look from 53rd Street) is placed at the rear of the building, enabling the width of the lot to be used for the various stacked institutional, office, and residential uses. Public access is limited to the lower levels, home to gallery spaces and a cafe.

Description:
horizontal metal (zinc?) blackened steel siding. This facade gives the restaurant a strong presence on the street.
Inside, one confronts an elegant and light-filled space set off by a wall of 17,000 illuminated plastic bottles, a row of ornamental concrete columns, and a fabric ceiling that recalls the raking of Japanese rock gardens. The two-story restaurant has a dining room upstairs, with a bar and lounge downstairs. Ando's signature concrete is present though not the overwhelming materials, played down in favor of a diverse palette that takes New York City restaurant design to the next level.
