2019

The project is located in Shamiya, Kuwait, repurposing an existing building. Its position inside the plot allows the development of valuable exterior spaces, complemented with small gardens, while inducing new habitability to the main street area. 

This restaurant building is composed of one single level, wrapped in matte paint and metallic mesh on the outside and glossy white ceramic tiles on the inside. It contains a dining room, customer pick-up, bathroom and service areas (kitchen and technical area), organized in an open circulation loop. Natural light is guaranteed by the glazed entrance as well as the large window that overlooks the esplanade, unifying the entire space. 

On top of it, a canopy with a back-lighted logo and brand name, provides shade to the exterior eating area and the main entrance, covering almost all of the plot area. Its metal mesh continues to the interior creating one single flat ceiling over both spaces, homogenizing the intended perception of it, as well as the feeling of being under such a unique protective element. The canopy L shape clearly marks the building hierarchy and highlights the desirable image of the franchise, in addition to the interactive signage with the brand logo on the opposite side, withstanding the needed advertising for the restaurant.
