Working with limited space, Kamat & Rozario Architecture has managed to create an eclectic ambience, that too with a liberal use of recycled and reused materials. Lester Rozario and Smruti Kamat took on the project to design a restaurant named Lemirado in Bangalore and gave the place an unimaginable face-lift despite working with a constrained space.
Measuring 3.3m x 11.8m, the restaurant site was considerably small and narrow. The idea was to give it a feel of a global eatery with a casual setting and an eclectic menu. The location of the restaurant, which has an extremely cosmopolitan feel to it despite being in an old part of town, played a crucial role in helping the designers evolve a distinct theme.
One of the most prominent features of the interiors is the large dining table that functions as the focal point around which the entire design seems to have been woven. Another prominent feature of Lemirado is the unique shape given to the staircase. The juxtaposition of triangles used for the staircase lends the interiors an edgy and chic appeal.
