LIVE PROJECT:
RESTAURANT DESIGN
FOR RASL MUNICHIES©
- LOGO: "RASL MUNICHIES LOGO DESIGNER-Sania Shapi."
- THEME: Culture (Swahili and Arabian)
- BUILDING: Hajjra towers,
- LOCATION: Links Rd, New Nyali behind Kenol, Mombasa, Kenya.
- CLIENT: RASL MUNICHIES.
- I took pictures of Room 1 and Room 2 that will be used for the restaurant before renovation.
- Free hand and AutoCAD software use: I used smartdraw software to draw the floor plan, Microsoft Paint to draw the two rooms in different Perspective views and a free hand drawing using a pen.
- Top Left: AutoCAD-Floor Plan, Perspective view: Top view.
- Both the rooms are small and need spacing!!! I need to think of a solution…
- Furniture design (tables, chairs, cabinet design and counter design)
- Materials used: Textures-Wood, Glass, Ceramics, and Metal.
- Counter Design: The idea of having a dhow will add character to the interior and will tell a historical story about the Swahili food and culture. As the counter area is also part of the kitchen it will be like the chiefs are cooking inside a floating dhow.
- I took pictures of the objects (Elements of Design) and have placed them around the line drawings to illustrate my ideas and show which objects I plan on using for the interior.
- Dining Rooms Perspective view: dinning room 1 viewing room 1 and dinning room 2 from the Corridor.
- Room 2 Design: perceptive view from the corridor area and from room 1:
- Inspiration: The Swahili Interior designs, furniture and book: “Swahili Style, Author: Javed Jafferji. Elie Losleben” deeply inspired my client and me and so we decided on using Antique Swahili Furniture and Objects around the interior.
- Perspective view from dinning room 2: Idea 1 and Idea 2, counter and kitchen area with and without partition door.
- The counter inspired by dhows passing the waterfront of the Indian Ocean was designed to create character into the interior.
- Spacing: My team and I thought of removing part of the wall between the two rooms and creating an arch.
- The kitchen and serving area was organized well with practical placements of a fridge and freezer, microwave, cooker, coffee machine, pastry machine, juicer, food preparation area and disposal, This way allows the chiefs and the owner to work comfortably even during peak periods.
