RESEARCH ABSTRACT: We conducted a very specific research on behavioral analysis of people going in to current day Pubs, restaurants and fine dining space. The outcome of this research pointed out specifically to the fact that people move into a social space and select where they want to sit basis their group size, their need for specific privacy and their social status. A large group would like to place itself in an area where they can have their own fun. A couple looks around for a cosy corner and so on. The research findings led us creating the space that fulfills most of these requirements.
CHALLENGE: Often we are presented with spaces that may not be idle for the function that they are intended to be used for. The space of This restaurant however had this great advantage of being a double height space on the first floor and a low ceiling height space on the ground floor. Going by this specific height s on the floors the space has been deigned using the maximum advantage of the height on the first floor that forms the entry, the low height space on the ground has been turned around into an underground kind of space. the double height space on the first floor was further divided by putting up a mezzanine on the sides keeping the central area as double height. The central double height area form connecting space of all the divided space into a uniform whole and also becomes a space where when their are live performances are view able form all areas.
