Our brief was to create a chic and sophisticated Indian fine dining restaurant and bar. The layout was our biggest challenge as the restaurant, Kainoosh, shares a common kitchen with the bar, Keya.

Kainoosh was developed as an amalgam of spaces-the linear entry corridor, the circular restaurant and the rectangular PDR. Drawing inspiration from traditional Indian crafts and architecture, the space remains fairly contemporary and monolithic; with a CNC cut cement board jaali as the backdrop for the entire restaurant.
