Jugaad is hindi for ‘making do’ or ‘reusing’ or ‘creative improvisation’

A bar made out of recycled plastic bottles, piled up street junk, and constructed a wall from tightly rolled newspapers. Most of the materials for the restaurant were either recycled, found or purchased secondhand and then reinvented to create a colourful, welcoming and exciting atmosphere. We even re-purposed a fishing boat that was used for selling coconuts. These are just a sample of the quirky innovative treatment that made this project totally unique, winning a nomination for The Restaurant Bar Design Awards.

Rambla

St Katherine Dock

The interior is inspired by Barcelona’s elegant-but-casual beachfront restaurants offering a laid back atmosphere designed to let the food do the talking. The open kitchen takes center stage, the wrap around bar top was created by hand using a selection of hard woods such as maple, cherry and oak which we joined. The bar facade is metro tiles in a herringbone design on a floor constructed from reclaimed scaffolding boards. The walls are venetian plaster, chairs reclaimed for an old church are upholstered with calico linen creating a warm and authentic, understated and utilitarian aesthetic.

Wolfe

Notting Hill

Wolfe in Notting Hill for restauranteur and chef Wolfe Conyngham - A comfortable, slightly whimsical neighbourhood restaurant. Wolfe was built almost entirely from reclaimed materials. Cast iron arch industrial window frames were used to make the backbar, the bar itself, an vintage, oak carpenters workbench. Exposed plaster and oil based scumble glazed walls, the dumb waiter door framed with reclaimed barn gate posts and an old door. Zinc table tops and antique louvre cupboard doors create a harmonious, ensemble oozing rustic charm. “Layers of detail in the interior design on both floors indicate a labour of love and on the ground floor there is a view to a verdant garden. Truly comfortable upholstered chairs issue a welcome challenge to the cultural hegemony of bare-filament light bulbs”.
