The main focus was on establishing a sense of balance and proportion in the space, so the idea and atmosphere of the Greek houses inspired the creation of this fish and chips shop and restaurant. The building itself reminds of a Greek house because of its simple and at the same time modern design. Geometric elements, simple and functional interiors and fresh and clean atmosphere make it easier for the visitors to enjoy the food. The environment of the restaurant is at the same time elegant and cosy, and the sustainable design tells the visitors that this restaurant is serving sustainable food.
The organic forms, vintage wood touches and smooth surfaces of the tables, chairs, walls and everything that surrounds the clients help to create a rather calm and pleasant atmosphere. As it may be seen, some elements of the shop’s decor like the metal fence and the wall were inspired by the scales of tropical fish, which supports the main food focus of the shop and restaurant. As the restaurant is conservative and unusual at the same time, it serves the traditional fish and chips dish in a completely unique way that differs from all the other, rather usual, fish and chips shops.
The welcoming atmosphere does not disturb the guests no matter what they are busy with. On the other hand, it lets people relax, think of nice things and enjoy the calmness of the place. This restaurant provides with an excellent opportunity and environment to study, work, chat, meet with friends or enjoy the loneliness. Moreover, as part of the strategy, the distribution of the seats and tables is organized into small and cosy areas to let the visitors speak with their company and not be afraid to annoy the other clients.
However, at the same time, there are seats for those customers who came alone, and the space is also designed in such a way that it is very free and welcoming. Hence, the customers are able to interact with each other and the restaurant workers visually and feel more comfortable.
This is simultaneously a friendly take away shop and a cosy restaurant of more than fifty seats. There are two floors, so everyone is able to find a table and enjoy his or her meal in peace and quiet. The top floor of the fish and chips restaurant gives the visitors the possibility of a slight overview of the ground floor through the designed void. Also, glass layers as well as skylights create a feeling of weightlessness and airiness and allow the customers to observe the sky, dream and forget about the sadness and loneliness. This place is safe and interacts with Nature by adding big plants and flowers. Plants on the way to the first floor as well as under the staircase are an optimal solution to include greenery since the outdoors lacks it.
The spaciousness of the room and the quick service minimize the possibility of a queue. However, if it does appear, then the luminosity and freshness of the room will allow the people to spend time in line with pleasure. While people eat or buy the food, they enjoy the simplicity of the sea that may be felt in every corner of the market. The colour scheme that consists of light shades like white, light, purple and pink is inspired by the Greek beach houses, which this place offers an authentic experience of. All those colours are combined perfectly in order to create a harmonious environment, which is one of the main purposes of the restaurant.
