When opening a restaurant or redesigning your existing one, finding the right team to bring your culinary vision to life is crucial. At Extension Architecture, we take pride in our team of experienced restaurant architects, dedicated to turning your restaurant dreams into a delicious reality.
Our restaurant architects bring a wealth of knowledge and creativity to the table.

The Restaurant Architecture Process
Designing a restaurant is a multi-faceted process that involves careful planning and execution. Extension Architecture’s restaurant architects follow a comprehensive step-by-step process to ensure your restaurant project is a success:
- Consult and Assessment – It all begins with a vision. Our architects work closely with you to understand your concept, target audience, and budget. This phase sets the tone for the entire project. We evaluate the location, size, and condition of the space to determine its potential and any necessary renovations or alterations.
- Design Development – Our architects start sketching out ideas, considering layout, aesthetics, and functionality. We create detailed plans and 3D renderings to help you visualise the end result. Obtaining the required permits and approvals is critical. We guide you through the often complex process, ensuring compliance with local building codes and zoning regulations.
- Construction Management – Detailed plans, specifications, and cost estimates are prepared for construction. These documents are essential for bidding and executing the project. We collaborate with contractors and oversee the construction process to ensure that your restaurant is built according to the approved design.
- Interior Design – Beyond the structure, our team can assist with interior design, selecting materials, furnishings, and finishes that enhance the ambience of your restaurant.
- Final Touches – We pay meticulous attention to the final details, from lighting to signage, to create a cohesive and inviting atmosphere. Our restaurant architect firm supports you all the way to the grand opening, making sure your restaurant is ready to welcome guests.

I’m highly recommending Extension Architecture for their expertise to turn around a difficult planning application that I had refused from 2 other architects and they managed to get my additional new house at the end. A 3 year journey, but it was well worth it! I cannot appreciate enough their planning knowledge, and also now we are breaking ground. Their tender pack has saved me alot of hassle in choosing material inside the house myself. Especially their kitchen design has been great and cannot wait to see it realised. Thanks for all your input so far…
