About Somerica
Somerica in Kilimani is a masterfully designed restaurant that blends industrial-modern architecture with a warm, upscale social atmosphere. The project emphasizes a "Modern Urban" aesthetic, using a sophisticated color palette and high-quality materials to create a distinct identity.
- The Lounge: Features plush, low-profile cossy seating in neutral earth tones, grounded by a large-format ceramic tile floor
- Materiality: A rich mix of American walnut panels, exposed black metalwork, and textured stone creates a tactile and luxurious environment..
- Bold Identity: The "Somerica" branding is integrated into the architecture through backlit signage and a signature orange and black color scheme.
- Transparency: Large floor-to-ceiling glass panels blur the line between the indoor lounge and the street, inviting passersby into the warm, illuminated space.
- Outdoor Integration: The entrance features clean masonry work paired with dark ambient lighting, maintaining the home-grown yet international feel of the brand.
Layered lighting, from recessed ceiling lights to warm globe pendants, highlights the diverse textures of stone, wood, and metal, creating a space that transitions seamlessly from a bright daytime café to an intimate evening dining destination.
