The design of the establishment was inspired from the original use of the vault which operated as a magazine for the Knights of St. John and the British Royal Army. A 40 feet shipping container took centre stage in the vault and serves as an open kitchen that serves various kinds of food, from pizza to salads. An industrial design look was kept throughout the space by using materials such as metals, raw wood, concrete, leathers and an exposed ceiling to show off the beautiful vaulted ceiling which originated in the 16th century. The colourful a/c duct and kitchen tiles combined with the big hand painted mural adds a nice pop and contrasts the otherwise minimal industrial design of this compact and versatile eatery.
