10) HUKAMA, THE ADDRESS HOTEL DOWNTOWN BURJ DUBAI, UAE
A team from WA International worked on the Hukama concept, and others at The Address — design director Claire Craig and associate senior designer Helen Skea came up with the planning and concept designs, while project manager and architect Srinivas Mohan detailing and coordinating on site.
“Hukama is a Far Eastern speciality restaurant, designed for more intimate dining — and the
Décor really evokes all the senses,” asserts Skea.
”Dramatic six-metre high ceilings lend the interior a striking scale, while specialist-designed lighting suspended two metres from ceiling gives the interior a more human scale, with a dark St Laurent marble floor and exotic Zebrano polished wood adding to this rich, warm interior.”
According to Skea, sucecessful F&B outlets must not only be inspiring interior spaces; they must also ensure good operational flow and circulation throughout the outlet, from both a customer and an employee’s point of view.
“The interiors are critical to entice the customer, but the food and service is crucial in ensuring that they keep coming back — so this circulation and flow, is really important,” she adds.
