HaUte is a 10,000 sq. ft. restaurant, lounge, and club located on the 17th floor of LaSalle Plaza in downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota.
The dining room accommodates up to 190, the lounge seats upwards of 60 people very comfortably, and a presidential dining room is available for special parties.
HaUte is transformed into an upbeat dance club on weekends & select week nights. Tapas are still served and another bar opens up in back- and it is all set to the soundtrack of the hottest djs.
concept statement
floor plan-nts
With many color cues coming from the fashion world and also for the textural qualities I used many fabrics. From the slick glossiness of the patent leather to bundles of duopini silks, the club is full of sumptuous & vivid textiles.
With all the colors being brought in throught the fabrics, the hard materials were kept in rich blacks & golds. Glass beaded ceilings, glass tiles floors, & gold leafed wall papers make for an exquisite & glamrous setting. Interesting materials such as counters inlaid with bamboo and tiles of cow horn are both beautiful and allow for LEED credits.
Interesting lines can be found in all of the furniture. Sexy curves and unnatural proportions make for an exciting environment. The mixing table for the dj even takes on a wild, morphous shape.

A large elliptical space filled with the more bubbling champagne liquid gives a view of the dj mixing the beats behind the gold leafed backwall of the bar. Metal strips cut through the bar surface and curve back out creating a seemingly floating drink mixing surface. Red bar stools and square amber pendants add clean lines and simplicity to the super glam bar.
Throughout the space there are many levels. Level of flooring and levels of seating all to create that "see and be seen" feel. Here some cozy lounge chairs take refuge between a pub height table and the glass floored catwalk which runs through the central bar area.
In the main dining area there is seating to accomodate all sorts of parties and also great views of the kitchen were the chefs like to use a little bit of fire in their cooking.
Continuing with the theme of multiple levels and layering, Haute has many levels of intimacy. The farther back you go into the space the quieter and more intimate dining becomes with high backed booths and smaller spaces to the dining pods with curtains that close around the custom booths for a private feel.
