Italian Restaurant & Bar
The interior design renovation of Giando Italian Restaurant and Bar has breathed new life into this modern fine dining establishment. The primary objective of the renovation was to revitalize the restaurant and create a more prominent bar and lounge area, enhancing the overall ambiance and providing a captivating space for customers. The design concept focuses on a neutral aesthetic, serving as a canvas to showcase the elegant textures within the restaurant. The chosen materials and textures are adorned with artistic craftsmanship reminiscent of antique Italian art and architecture, adding a touch of elegance and heritage to the contemporary space.
During the renovation process, optimising the flow and spatial planning of the restaurant was our primary consideration. The aim was to ensure a seamless layout that enhances the overall dining experience while also addressing operational needs. With a focus on the bar area, we worked diligently to create an efficient setup that enables the staff to provide smooth service to the restaurant, whilst maintaining an attractive bar that harmonises with the overall design. A significant addition to the establishment is the spacious lounge area, boasting a captivating custom built sofa seating. This new lounge not only enhances the restaurant's ambiance but also offers guests a unique dining and bar experience. Its presence is aimed at boosting the bar sales and increasing the overall seating capacity of the restaurant, which in our eyes holds fundamental importance when designing restaurants.
