the design
SUSU’s interior is intentionally designed to balance refined fine dining with a flexible, high-performing layout. The space features a mix of formal dining tables, banquettes, and bar seating that supports a premium dinner service while allowing for reconfiguration as the evening progresses. Warm Mediterranean materials, sculptural architectural elements, and subtle Asian influences create a timeless, elevated environment that remains visually striking under both daytime and late-night lighting conditions.
The layout supports both seated dining and controlled standing room, allowing the restaurant to transition naturally after 10PM. Dining tables and lounge areas are positioned to accommodate a comfortable seated capacity during dinner hours, while designated bar and circulation zones allow for increased standing capacity later in the evening without compromising flow or guest experience. This dual-use design enables SUSU to maximize revenue per square foot, increase beverage sales, and extend guest dwell time—transforming the space from a fine-dining destination into a sophisticated late-night social environment.
