The brief
A chef-owner opening her first restaurant wanted a room that felt like a friend's dining room — only better lit.
The challenge
A long, narrow former shop with a low ceiling and a kitchen that had to stay visible from every seat.
The solution
Timber slats run the full length to stretch the room and hide services, while clustered rattan pendants drop the light low over every table. A planted bar at the front softens the street and brings in walk-ins.
