Modern Restaurant Interior and Exterior Design Ideas



Do you like going to restaurants where interior design is fascinating? Personally, I adore visiting honored restaurant with my wide. We enjoy having meals, talking about our ordinary lives and enjoying the pleasant atmosphere and interesting designer solutions in the place which we have chosen for our dinner.

Well, I believe that there are two types of restaurants. The can be be distinguished not only by the time of they day they are visited but also by the type of food they serve. I think that restaurants that are visited during the day are more like fast food and quick snack ones, while those preferred for evening visit can offer a wide range of meals and drinks which suppose a longer stay and more comfortable atmosphere.

Today, I am going to write about the second type. As I have already said, I not only prefer them, I adore them! But now, let’s have a closer look at what a typical restaurant have?
Exterior

Well yes, we are not going to talk only for interiors here, since the overall impression that a person gets from a place is formed not only by enjoying the atmosphere inside it, but also by the first thing he ever notices about the restaurant. That’s why it is very important that the interior designers and architects together have created an outstanding facade and outer areas that lead to the main entrance.

I have been in one amazing restaurant in Asia that had an outstanding front yard with path leading to the main door. The path started from the road and consisted of giant concrete pavers that was leading the visitors through the yard. At the side parts of each tile, there were solar lamps that illuminated the path. Additionally, I was very impressed by the light show that played its fabulous game in front of my eyes. It was actually an illumination that originally was fixed at the surrounding shrubs. In an instant moment the projectors start moving pointing their light into the sky. Ahhh, amazing!

I know that http://work.ac/ is a company that creates great architecture projects about commercial buildings.

The entry are should be always welcoming. A hostess should meet your right after you make your first steps inside the restaurant and lead your table. Of course, if you made a reservations everything should be prepared for you but there are cases when you have to wait a little bit. For example, if you have come earlier than the appointment and your table is not ready yet, the hostess should lead to the beverage area.

Well, this is actually the bar. As I have written above, you may be earlier in the restaurant and you will need to wait. This was the case with me, when visiting this Asian restaurant that I was talking about. When I went to the beverages area, my wife and me decided to have a quick drink right before having our meals. A glass of wine for us, and we have hardly finished it, the hostess welcomed and pointed us towards our reservation.

Dining Area

The most important area of a restaurant. There are many, many things that the designer need to have in mind in order to make this area gorgeous. Well, it actually all depends on the interior design style that is going to be used. It can be modern, more traditional, ultra contemporary, with eclectic touches, with rustic details, etc. No matter what is the type of design, there should be enough place for the tables. The arrangement should provide enough space between the tables so that the guests can enjoy their privacy. On the other hand, the tables shouldn’t be separated too far one from another since this can make the main volume look empty. Imagine a restaurant with 5000 sq. feet area and 10 tables in it – somehow this doesn’t seem right!

The other very important aspect of the interior is the light. Browsing through some ideas about restaurants I have found that here we can distinguish two types:

1. Those who have dimmed illumination and play chillout music or some other kind of quiet melodies.
2. And those who have good illumination and usually accommodate an orchestra that plays live music. Of course, not all restaurants do that. Those that don’t simply provide the music of quietly talking couples.

I can recommend http://www.uxusdesign.com/ as a company that can manage to develop unique restaurant design.

Samuel Brighouse School’s Modern Architecture and Interior


This is not an usual elementary school. The interior design of Samuel Brighouse school is astonishing and actually it was an award wining project. Looking at the image above you will definitely feel the spacious interior and outstanding design solutions that the architects incorporated in their work. Large wood straight panels connect the lower floor with the ceiling forming an unique and attractive inner look of the glass facade of the school. On the second floor, there is a long corridor connecting the staircase that comes from the first floor with the classrooms.

On the ground level, there is another hallway connecting the different functional areas in the facility. Pay attention to the sweet colorful claddings that have been used to mark the entrances to the rooms. A stylish staircase leads the teachers, students and their parents to the upper floor where the lessons are being learned. You won’t miss the modern pendants hanging from the floor. Actually, those are used only during late hours since the glass faced provides enough natural light inside.

The main entrance of the school has also some colorful accents. The designers believe that adding those interesting splashes of color can actually stimulate student’s creativity and brain activity. Of course, there we used only “positive” palettes and nuances like red that provoke aggressive behavior have been avoided.

Modern school classroom

The classrooms are organized not in the traditional way. The desks are forming small tables where 4 students can sit. This is a great idea since it stimulates team work and collective discussion of ideas.



Modern school architecture

The building has a majestic silhouette. As you can see, modern architectural solutions have been used in order to create a fabulous contemporary construction that will generate leaders of the future.

Modern school outside playground

Outside in the areas of the school, there are several zones separated for outdoor play. Actually, these playgrounds are often used when the weather is sunny and not so cold that the teachers can take all the kids outside. Games are important part of kids’ lives since they develop their skills to socialize and make friends. As you know, scientific researches have proven that people make friends that share similar interests. Games are that part of the day when all the students can express their preferences and views about the surrounding environment that later can become the foundation of finding their new mates in school.



Modern school entrance and canteen

In the image above you can see the inspiring entrance of the school as well as the facade of the canteen. Needless to say, every lunch break there is enough quality food for all the kids.

School’s second floor

From this architectural plan you see the distribution of space and the separation of the different functional areas which are:


1. Classrooms;
2. Special education;
3. Students Resource Center;
4. Gymnasium;
5. Multipurpose;
6. Project Area;
7. Administration;
8. Mechanical;
9. Neighborhood Learning Center;
10. Circulation / Washrooms;
11. Storage.

From the two plans above you will be able to see how they are organized in the different levels of the building.
