REESHA Interior Design looks at the bigger picture of design representation. Design is not only about aesthetics since the company finds clever solutions in order to achieve the finest results to make every project cosy and truly appealing. REESHA’s team has an outstanding work ethic, inherent intuition, overflowing creativity, and ever-lasting curiosity which makes them stand out from the crowd. The company’s restaurant project represents three individual family members coming together to create something magical. Located in the heart of Dubai, this location was once a residential villa. The previous owners turned the villa into a restaurant, but had failed to make proper changes to the facade, and had not considered creating clean and airy interiors. This is where REESHA’s team came in.

From the first meeting with the clients, REESHA Interiors had a clear vision about the design concept, which was to use Jordan & Levant architectural elements, presented in a contemporary way. REESHA decided to have the owners’ personalities represented throughout the space: the rooted sweet mum, the energetic smiley chef, and the musician/ marketing guru. In addition, REESHA Interiors blended the backgrounds, lifestyles as well as the owners’ individuality, and their vision for the restaurant as these were all important concepts behind the design. The previous linear layout along with the limited number of tables, the dark staircase, and the unpleasant and uninviting transitional space to reach the second floor were all revamped. REESHA Interior Design created additional space to house more tables for guests, along with a pleasant and welcoming entrance. Other changes included creating open counters to house a juice bar, bakery and oven, and a dessert preparation counter. Previous partitions were removed to create a freeflowing area, and a ground floor wall was removed to house an inviting staircase with more natural light. The company also extended a sandwich panel to add a proper reception and landing area with a grand piano. Large windows to allow maximum natural light were incorporated throughout and the facade was enhanced by adding attractive signage. Overall, the blend of the owners’ personalities and levant architecture created an attractive spot for UAE residents and visitors to Dubai. These elements were key to the business’s identity and success story.
