Project Overview:

This project involved the rapid redesign and renovation of an existing pizzeria. The client, dissatisfied with the previous design, sought a fresh ambiance for the restaurant. Our firm was tasked with creating a new look within a tight budget and an extremely short timeframe, as the client wanted to minimize closure time and complete some changes while still operating.

Project Scope:

Project Summary: Client: Pizzeria owner
Scope: Interior redesign and renovation of an existing pizzeria
Key Objectives:
1. Create a new vibe for the restaurant
2. Work within a tight budget
3. Minimize closure time
4. Increase dine-in customers
Design Approach:

4. Replacing loose furniture to match the new desired look
Challenges:
1. Tight budget constraints
2. Extremely short timeframe for renovation
3. Client's limited ability to visualize design concepts from technical drawings
Solutions:
1. Use of CGI (Computer-Generated Imagery) to help client visualize proposed changes
2. Phased approach, allowing some changes to be made while business resumed
Key Achievements:
1. Successful renovation completed within budget and time constraints
2. Increased number of dine-in customers post-renovation
3. High client satisfaction with the outcome
Outcome:
1. Transformed restaurant ambiance

This project demonstrates our ability to work effectively under tight constraints, both in terms of budget and time. By focusing on high-impact, cost-effective changes and using CGI to communicate design concepts clearly, we were able to meet the client's needs and contribute to the improved performance of the business.
