Miami, FL – Back in April, WoodHouse announced that The Moore in the Miami Design District had officially begun its re-opening. The iconic landmark has entered the next century as a new lifestyle and cultural destination, complete with a private members club, boutique hotel, executive offices, gallery space, and Elastika, a new restaurant that has recently opened to the public.
Situated on the first floor, Elastika debuts as a modern-American restaurant helmed by acclaimed Executive Chef Joe Anthony. Designed to become a destination gathering place and culinary cornerstone of Miami Design District, Elastika will act as the lobby of the neighborhood providing a gastronomic experience in a comfortable, inviting environment.
Inspired by Miami’s international community and The Moore’s century-long legacy of art, design and culture, the restaurant acts as a culinary canvas, where thoughtful ingredients and soulful cooking come to life. The restaurant is named for the iconic Zaha Hadid sculpture, Elastika, which is suspended throughout the four-story atrium above the restaurant’s dining room. The sculpture is a site-specific installation commissioned by Miami Design District developer Craig Robins for the inaugural Design Miami/ exhibition in 2005.
“Our vision for Elastika extends beyond the menu. We’ve transformed the first floor of The Moore into the lobby of the Miami Design District — an inviting destination where people can gather, dine and enjoy the landmark building and Zaha Hadid’s iconic sculpture.” – Brady Wood, Founder & CEO of WoodHouse
