restaurant interior design cost delhi: a case study

in a quiet corner of lutyens delhi, delhi, a young entrepreneur had a vision to convert a heritage bungalow into a fine dining restaurant. with a budget of ₹8-15 lakh, she approached indéva studio to bring her dream to life. our team of designers was excited to take on the challenge of designing a unique and functional space that would showcase the best of indian cuisine.

the brief

the client's brief was clear: to design a restaurant that would reflect the heritage of the bungalow while incorporating modern elements. the restaurant was to have a seating capacity of 50, with a separate area for private dining. the client also wanted to include a bar and a display kitchen. our team began by conducting a site analysis, taking into account the natural light, ventilation, and existing architectural features of the bungalow.

understanding the site

the heritage bungalow was built in the 1920s, with high ceilings, large windows, and intricate wooden carvings. our team knew that they had to be sensitive to the existing architecture while introducing modern elements. we decided to retain the original wooden flooring and ceiling, and incorporate traditional indian motifs into the design.

the challenge

one of the major challenges was to work within the existing structure of the bungalow, which had a fragmented layout. our team had to be creative in designing a functional space that would meet the client's requirements. we also had to ensure that the design was cost-effective, as the client had a tight budget of ₹8-15 lakh.

design decisions

to address the challenge, our team decided to use a combination of traditional and modern materials. we used reclaimed wood for the furniture and decor, which not only added to the heritage feel but also helped to reduce costs. we also incorporated natural materials like bamboo and jute into the design, which added warmth and texture to the space.

• reclaimed wood for furniture and decor: ₹2 lakh
• bamboo and jute for natural materials: ₹1.5 lakh
• traditional indian motifs for design elements: ₹1 lakh

the key to designing a successful restaurant is to create a space that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. in this case, we had to balance the client's requirements with the existing architecture of the bungalow, all within a tight budget.

the design solution

our team came up with a design solution that incorporated the client's requirements while respecting the heritage of the bungalow. we designed a spacious dining area with a separate private dining section, a bar, and a display kitchen. the restaurant was designed to have a warm and inviting atmosphere, with natural materials and traditional indian motifs used throughout.
