For this stunning two-story, 90-seat restaurant, bar, lounge and outdoor café located at 220 South Broad Street, along Philadelphia's bustling Avenue of the Arts, the DAS team developed a design scheme to foster a heavenly, casually elegant environment, in which guests can indulge their earthly desires on contemporary fare prepared by award-winning chef Francesco Martorella , while bliss' spa-like atmosphere envelops them with a calming sense of tranquility.

Like gentle waves lapping against the sandy beach, bliss' interior is adorned with watery colored mosaics fashioned from glass stones and highlighted by shimmery crystalline accents. The blue terrazzo floor delicately meets the rich cut oak paneling and brushed stainless steel trim.

Further facilitating bliss' prevailing placid ambiance, a striking series of backlit images depicting an Australian sunset hang from the wall opposite the entrance. Guests can enjoy a casual drink or dine on light fare while seated at the first floor's back bar. The ten-seat bar features an alabaster-colored granite top highlighted. The seats are fashioned from oak and topped with silver blue and amber patterned silk. Above hangs an illuminated silk box, which casts a mellow glow over the bar. Adjacent to the bar are three banquettes upholstered in sand colored fabric with seat tops wrapped in leather. A partially open kitchen gives guests a view of bliss' skilled culinary staff at work through two large pick up windows.
