Restaurant Design Competition Brief
1. Project Overview
A refined modern Eastern dining experience that balances elegance, warmth, and privacy.
The concept celebrates earthy minimalism with layered spatial experiences and a strong visual
axis, creating a photo-friendly, immersive environment.
Core Vision:
- Layered privacy options across two levels
- A signature “Masterpiece Axis” defining the restaurant’s soul
- A Modern Rural aesthetic — warm, tactile, and grounded in natural materials
- No direct references to any specific country or heritage style, yet deeply atmospheric
2. Space Summary
The restaurant occupies Shops 09 to 16, covering two floors (total ≈ 576 m²).
Ground Floor – 288 m²
- Entrance and reception (Shop 09)
- Two kitchen units (Shops 15 and 16)
- Dining area and guest restrooms in the remaining space
Mezzanine Floor – 288 m²
- Dedicated fully to dining only – no restrooms
- Combination of private and open seating zones
- Service via dumbwaiter directly from the kitchen
- The mezzanine is to be newly constructed as part of the project scope
3. Seating Models
MODEL A – Private Pods
- Fully enclosed private dining pods for six guests each
- Separated by half-length curtains for controlled privacy
- Central corridor connecting the pods
- Fountain or Masterpiece Axis aligned along the corridor
MODEL B – Open Seating
- Centered around a sculptural indoor tree (low-maintenance species)
- Warm ambient lighting from ceiling and wall fixtures
- Balanced openness with a serene, cohesive visual mood
4. Masterpiece Axis – Architectural Signature Feature
This is the defining element of the project, visible from the entrance and guiding the visual
journey through the restaurant.
A) Water Stream Axis
- Long, narrow channel with pebbles and indirect lighting
- Gentle movement creating reflection and calm ambience
B) Tree Axis
- Repeated olive or ficus trees along the main corridor
- Floor uplighting to create rhythm and visual depth
C) Hybrid Axis
- Combination of tree clusters and small recessed water pockets
- Minimal brass or mosaic accents for texture and warmth
5. Material and Mood Direction
Designers should follow the Earth & Warm – Modern Rural palette:
- Colors: Sand Beige, Warm Taupe, Terracotta, Walnut Brown, Olive Green
- Materials: Lime plaster, clay tile, walnut wood, coarse linen, warm metal finishes
- Lighting: Amber to soft white, creating an intimate and comfortable atmosphere
6. Technical Expectations for Designers
Deliverables must include:
1. Full interior concept showing zoning, circulation, and the Masterpiece Axis integration.
2. Detailed drawings: floor plans, ceiling plans, furniture layout, materials, lighting, power, and
service notes.
3. Bill of Quantities (BOQ) listing materials, furniture, and decorative features with estimated
mid-range costs for each category.
