Contemporary Restaurant Redesign
Complete transformation of a traditional restaurant into a modern dining experience with ambient lighting controls and smart kitchen systems.
Project Overview
This project involved transforming a 20-year-old restaurant into a modern culinary destination. The owners wanted to update their establishment to attract a younger demographic while maintaining their loyal customer base.
The renovation focused on creating different dining atmospheres within the same space, using smart lighting and acoustics to transform the restaurant's character throughout the day.
Design Strategy
We implemented a multi-zone design approach:
- Bright, airy atmosphere for daytime dining
- Intimate, moody lighting for evening service
- Flexible private dining areas
- Interactive bar experience
- Open kitchen with exhibition cooking
- Outdoor patio with climate control
Technology Integration
The restaurant features a comprehensive smart system:
Dynamic lighting that changes throughout the day to match natural light patterns, sound zoning that creates different acoustic environments in each section, smart tables with built-in charging and ordering capabilities, and a kitchen management system that optimizes workflow and reduces waste.
The HVAC system is zone-controlled and adjusts based on occupancy and time of day, reducing energy costs by 35%.
