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: The use of divided terrace led the design to be more centered around the theme of divided spaces. The main kitchen wall was selected for a mural here to create a common connecting element here. Hence the layout was put together a divided space in to a singular space connected by the bar on one side and the mural wall on the other side.
