Entry Description

Big Easy Winebar & Grill is a collaboration between
Virserius Studio and the design team of professional golfer
Ernie 'Big Easy' Els. For his restaurant, Virserius Studio
drew design inspiration from Ernie Els and his vision of what
his native South Africa represents to him. Together with his
development team and Beyond Hospitality for food &
beverage, the resulting concept is a very beautiful, friendly,
and open atmosphere that ensures that everyone who visits
will feel comfortable.
Big Easy includes several unique spaces, all tied together by
inviting rustic elements. The outdoor dining area includes a
lower and upper terrace surrounded by a lush green wall
that creates an intimate connection to the immediate
surroundings. Indoors, the warmly pigmented floor screed,
wood-beamed ceilings, metal lighting and handcrafted
furniture come together in rich harmony with colors and
textures are very earthy and distinctly South African.
