For the second New York location of this celebrated Greek seafood restaurant, DBA delivered a 16,000-square-foot space within the newbuild Hudson Yards retail podium, offering panoramic views across the development. The 222-seat restaurant is entered through a specially designed wine bar on the floor below, where a monumental winding staircase leads guests upstairs to the curved, bright main space featuring a wine cellar statement wall and an elegant crudo bar. From here, one can access an outdoor terrace and a barrel-vaulted private dining room.
The signature spiral staircase, leading from the wine bar to the restaurant, is made using rolled steel plate, with an integrated handrail and Dionysus marble treads and risers. It wraps around a concrete elevator shaft, which the client asked to be gently sloped, like a Greek mill. This added a challenging dimension of complexity to the construction but made the result all the more ceremonial and organic.

The Milos restaurants are sleek and airy, reminiscent of open markets, with a minimalist Mediterranean style.
THE NEW YORK TIMES
Dionysus marble, quarried just outside of Athens and sourced by DBA, was used for floors, walls and countertops, as well as the crudo bar. The luscious white stone, with subtle gray and green veins, comes from the Penteli mountains, an area renowned in ancient Greece as a source of “Pentelic” marble, used to build the Parthenon and other great monuments. The stone, with its prestigious provenance, was of extreme importance to the client.
