Dining Room - The restaurant dining room for Ma overlooks the Philadelphia waterfront. The ceiling structure is a symbol of control chaos, organic tree vines contained within a linier order to reflects Ma's design intent - a juxtaposition of innovation and tranquility (see 'design intent' for Ma Resturant & Nightclub). Dark vines contrast the radient ceiling; washed by warm LED light.

Bar - The bar wall built from a series of stacked slate and iridescent acrylic blocks that illuminate gradient colors of pink, white, and aqua. As a guest walks through the space they experience a playful show of random exposed light. The bar counter is made with labradorite, a durable precious gemstone from Madagascar. The fountain is supported by a floor pump and glass tube system that creates the effect of floating water; gently refreshing the senses, while cooling the thermal environment.
