The Restaurant was designed as a 'Fine Dine' extension to an existing informal Dining shed. The new structure would allow for larger celebratory indoor functions to be accommodated as well if necessary.
The Restaurant was conceptualized to be a partially knock-down structure with a mix of masonry and metal fabrication coupled with large wooden windows. The structure opens up the sky to bring in natural light at different times of the day with a split roof which scales the overall structure to merge with the peripheral compound wall and the existing context. The structure stands out due to this roof structure. The undulating compound wall design with planters accommodated within its thickness shielded the restaurant from the buzz of the corresponding roads. Outdoor dining spaces and the landscape were carved into the space in front of the restaurant to allow the public to use it freely.

The interiors of the Restaurant were made to create a stark contrast between the structure and the overall ambiance. The rust-coloured tiles with the oak finish furniture stood in contrast to the blue metal roofing sheet as clusters of lights created a flowing layer between the structure and the seating.
