NANdO’s
An interior precedent for hospitality spaces that balance soaring industrial heights with intimate, low-profile custom booth seating and bold material layering.
- What we like about this project
- A giant oversized fabric lampshade acts as a sculptural focal point over the central dining spine.

- Geometry
- Symmetrical deep-perspective layout anchored by a central banquette spine, flanked by rows of dining tables and vertical brick or concrete piers.
- Structural guess
- Exposed concrete columns and steel-reinforced framing supporting an open timber roof structure.
- Spatial scale
- Generous double-height volume with high ceilings and expansive floor plate accommodating dozens of diners.
- Lighting
- Warm ambient interior lighting supplemented by daylight from a full-height storefront glazed wall to the left, creating strong vertical contrast.
- Atmosphere
- Lively, warm, and textured, combining industrial rawness with rich, tactile upholstery.
- Environmental context
- Urban restaurant interior with large street-facing windows opening to daylight.
- Spatial experience
- The deep hall creates a processional rhythm down the central axis, while low-slung booth seating provides intimate human-scale zones underneath a soaring open-frame ceiling.
- Composition rhythm
- Strict symmetrical one-point perspective down a central dining axis, repeated by modular booth backs and ceiling timber bays.
