Client Vision & Brief
When the team behind Mr. Cod approached Renome Interiors, their vision was clear: reimagine their Chaklala Scheme III outlet as more than just a fast-casual seafood spot. They wanted a refined, memorable dining environment that evoked freshness, quality, and a sense of relaxed coastal elegance — without losing the approachable spirit of their brand.
The brief called for a space that could elevate customer experience, enhance brand presence, and stand apart in a competitive commercial district — all while staying true to the Mr. Cod legacy.
Design Philosophy & Concept
Renome’s creative direction leaned into a modern coastal minimalism — merging breezy textures and clean lines with subtle nautical cues. The design was intended to evoke the lightness of a day by the sea, while maintaining the discipline and clarity Renome Interiors is known for.
The space needed to feel fresh, open, and grounded — a deliberate departure from typical high-turnover eateries. Every material, curve, and corner was chosen to enhance calmness and continuity.
Signature Features & Materials
Layout Transformation
Renome reconfigured the flow entirely — repositioning the counter to anchor the space, while opening up dining zones to maximize visibility and ease of movement. A central island-style booth created a spatial centerpiece that draws guests in.
Materials
Whitewashed oak, honed grey marble, and brushed stainless steel formed the core palette — reflecting the natural elements of sand, stone, and water.
Lighting Strategy
Ambient pendant lighting in soft matte finishes combined with discreet cove lights to cast a warm, flattering glow. Natural daylight was optimized through minimal window treatments, making the space feel sun-kissed and expansive.
Color Palette
A crisp base of off-white and pale seafoam was layered with accents of navy and driftwood grey — balancing warmth and coolness for visual comfort.
Custom-Built Elements
From wave-inspired wall panels to curved banquette seating with marine stitching details, Renome custom-crafted each element to echo the coastal theme with subtlety and sophistication.
Challenges & Smart Solutions
The site’s narrow frontage and low ceilings presented spatial challenges. Renome addressed this through vertical visual elongation — using tall wall accents, mirrored surfaces, and strategic lighting to create the illusion of height and openness.
Final Outcome & Client Impact
The transformed Mr. Cod outlet is now an immersive experience — calm, curated, and unmistakably bespoke. Patrons frequently comment on how the ambiance encourages them to slow down and savor. The client reported a visible uptick in repeat visits and brand loyalty — proof that thoughtful design does more than please the eye; it deepens connection.
