The restaurant features two building blocks, spanning a built-up area of 5,300 sq. ft. on a 12,000 sq. ft. plot. The main building at the front houses the primary kitchen and is divided into three dining zones: semi-outdoor dining, casual dining, and fine dining. The second building, located at the rear, contains staff quarters and an extended kitchen. Landscape pockets at the front, middle, and rear of the building interconnect visually, fostering openness and enhancing the connection with nature. The landscaping introduces tranquillity, transforming the dining experience into a harmonious blend of intimacy and natural serenity. This integration of nature and design addresses both spatial considerations and adds an experiential dimension to the space.

The composite structure of the restaurant embodies an inside-out design, blending contemporary architecture with local building materials. The use of laterite stone not only serves functional purposes but also enhances the building's environmental performance. Laterite walls, concrete textures, and flooring shades reflect the local vernacular character while maintaining a contemporary, fresh architectural language. Large arched windows blur the boundaries between interior and exterior, offering panoramic views of the landscape and allowing natural light to fill the space throughout the day.

The soft waves of the fabric canopy above the semi-outdoor dining area provide protection from the sun while diffusing light, creating a tranquil and inviting ambiance. The design highlights how this subtle blend of architecture and landscape comes to life, particularly at the evening when the interplay of light and shadow creates a mystical ambiance. The elegant fine dining experience is enhanced by the pendant lights' soft, warm glow.
