The colors used on walls and vignettes were gathered from wall art in North India and from silks on garments. The red color on lower walls, offers the customers skin a warm glow when light is reflected off this color.

The floating shelves were all bracketed from above each shelf, so that the art and decor did not compete with what would have been another element.

The natural branches were adorned with silk blossoms and added to the various arrangements.

By combining ornamental pieces for the wall and accessories for the shelves, the vignettes are linked together for a continuous feel down each wall.

By matching wall color to the accessories on the wall, the dimension of each area is linked to the next.

When telling stories of the many Gods thru figures and framed art, the culture of India is expressed more fully.

I used threads and spools found in the homes of Indian crafting people, depicting the many skills found in this culture..

By painting the ceiling tile dark, in this case deep blue, the star fixtures stand out more distinctly The warmth reflected off the walls from pin spot lighting, compliments the hanging fixtures.

By building custom benches with velvet cushions in various patterns, each seating area along the walls creates cozy fun environments.

Large mandalas adorn the deep green painted floor.

By creating a series of lighting systems, adjustments can be made at various times of the day. This allows for a festive room or an intimate dining experience during later hours.

Stenciling was a labor of love in the building of Avatar’s. By designing the artistic applications early in the game, the rest of the interior design rests on the integrity of its craft consciousness.

Creating a custom logo by not using a typeface most common in graphic design libraries adds to the overall uniqueness of this project.

When beginning with the shell of this restaurant, I chose to think paint. Yes, I built a better bar, remodeled bathrooms, yet the cost of the main room in Avatar’s restaurant was greatly reduced by staying with simple solutions and above all, telling stories through art.
