Atmosphere meets service
A restaurant must work for guests and the team behind every service. We coordinate seating, table spacing, waiting, bar service and the connection to food preparation. The atmosphere follows the dining proposition: intimate tasting, lively social dining or an all-day neighbourhood destination. Lighting, acoustics and durable finishes are designed together.
What we resolve
- Dining concept
- guest and staff routes
- seating mix
- bar design
- lighting scenes
- kitchen-consultant interfaces
Decisions that make the difference
Test the plan
Compare circulation and spatial options against existing conditions and the operating brief.
Develop the detail
Coordinate materials, lighting, joinery and specialist interfaces with the approved direction.
Prepare for delivery
Align procurement, site responsibilities and inspections with the agreed programme.
Planning your Shanghai project
Bring available plans, photographs, an approximate area and your intended use to the first conversation. We review the building’s conditions and the decisions that influence scope, investment and timing. The brief can evolve, but responsibilities and approval points should stay clear.
For an occupied property, access and continuity need particular attention. For a new fit-out, the starting shell and technical systems shape the work. A written scope separates design, construction, furniture and specialist packages so you can compare proposals on the same basis.

A few useful answers
When should the kitchen and building services be reviewed?
Before committing to a lease or a final layout. Extraction, drainage, power, deliveries and waste handling can shape what the site can support. We coordinate specialist input and the landlord’s requirements before the visual concept becomes a construction commitment.
What can the restaurant design scope include?
The scope can cover dining concept; guest and staff routes; seating mix; bar design; lighting scenes; kitchen-consultant interfaces. We select and define the relevant deliverables in the proposal, including consultant interfaces and any exclusions. This allows you to compare the service against your actual brief.
What affects the restaurant design budget?
Important factors include seating capacity, kitchen interfaces and lighting scenes. Area alone is not enough to establish a reliable figure. We separate design deliverables, construction and procurement allowances, and review changes before they become site instructions.
Which restaurant design decisions should be made early?
Confirm seating capacity, kitchen interfaces and lighting scenes alongside the project brief. These decisions influence coordination and lead times. Review the existing space, agree who signs off the design and identify any specialist input before a final completion date is committed.
