Inspired by the Asian influences throughout the Hawaiian Islands, Malie is a restaurant and a plantation house outlined with fun fabrics and colours. The focus of the design direction was to balance the vision of a Hawaiian plantation home with rich colours that would complement the Asian dishes from the chef and kitchen team.

Vibrant textures amongst the clean white canvas of the wood and tiles create a strong contrast to the interior environment. The design works well because it makes a strong impact at the entrance of the Spotlight 29 building and is a fresh, clean, sophisticated space which complements the interiors of the casino spaces.

This restaurant integrates itself into the wider environment as it draws in customers from the building promenade that hosts some of the largest concerts and show in the valley. Specialist skills were used throughout this project with features of custom millwork & case goods, custom lights, custom seating and artwork. Kenneth Ussenko’s favourite aspect of the design is the beautiful custom-built shutters and light fixtures.
