The project’s white and stainless steel finishes gives homage to the idea of creating a clean and safe place for fast food that is slick and sharp, yet with pop and style, elevating the brand to the next level with its aesthetics and material application.

Aluminium, brushed steel, glossy formica, and ceramic tiles, plus the site’s advantage of opening up to the outdoor rooftop area, give the space an open, friendly, and approachable environment for guests of all ages to enjoy a delicious burger meal.
