Restaurant Upe has been a fixture of Liepāja's hospitality scene since 2000, tucked into the ground floor of the city's storied Līva Hotel. Award-winning, locally loved, and built on a kitchen philosophy that draws from its own garden — Upe has always had the soul. What it needed was a space to match it. That is where designer Žanete Zakovica Ozoliņa of StudioZZ came in, with a makeover that strips away the noise and lets the restaurant's character finally come through.
"A restaurant interior should feel inevitable — as if it could not have been any other way."
The refreshed Upe leans into calm materiality: KULTA limewash-finished walls give the dining room that rare quality of warmth without weight. The finish — mineral, matte, alive to the light — does exactly what limewash does best in a hospitality setting: it makes the room feel considered rather than decorated. Guests do not notice the walls. They notice how good they feel inside them. That is the mark of a surface that is doing its job.
For those specifying interiors in the hospitality sector — restaurants, hotels, cafés — the Upe project is a clear case study in how the right wall treatment changes everything else in the room. One project is all it takes to understand why designers keep coming back to it.
