Inspired by the charm and unhurried rhythm of the French countryside, this commercial restaurant project in Kazakhstan brings the essence of Provence to an urban setting. Rachelle Design Lab focused on creating a light-filled, airy atmosphere that invites guests to relax and linger.
Key Design Features:
Spatial Planning: The layout features diverse seating zones, from cozy booth arrangements along the panoramic windows to dynamic center tables, ensuring a comfortable experience for both large groups and intimate dining.
Texture & Palette: The design relies on a fresh, authentic palette: white-washed wood cladding on structural columns and the bar counter, paired with soft French-blue seating and natural oak tables.
Atmospheric Details: Lush biophilic elements seamlessly divide the space, while thematic decor—including vintage-style posters, decorative wall plates, and lavender accents—completes the Mediterranean narrative.
The result is a highly functional commercial space that successfully marries operational efficiency with a warm, romantic aesthetic.

Landscape of exterior rooms: The site is conceived as a string of rooms: a landscaped drive-way court, a lawn for play, a sunken court, a serene shade garden, a New England flower garden.
The stair grows out of the garden level ordering the surrounding rooms as it rises to a light filled courtyard at the Master suite on the top floor. On each level the rooms are arranged in a circuit around the stair core, making a series of distinct suites for the children, for the parents, and for their common activities.

Perched high above Calgary’s vibrant East Village, this condo was designed to reflect the homeowner’s story — layered, personal, and full of meaningful pieces collected over time. The homeowner wanted to create a space that feels authentic, inviting, and connected to her life experiences.

Wealth corrupts, and even the most humble and weakest in society start misbehaving the minute it gets to their heads. Legends offered by several communities, separated by vast deserts and mighty rivers, show that this was, and still is, a problem in modern society.
Among the Luo, a Nilotic people found in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania around Lake Victoria, the story of Mahe & Nyar Mgondho was narrated to children to provide moral instructions that I will let you figure out.
The tale goes thus:
Mahe, a poor fisherman scraping a living on Nam Lolwe (what many now call L. Victoria), moved to the town of Gwasi to see if his fortunes would improve.
For many days, his fortune did not get any better. Sometimes he spent two consecutive days without catching anything meaning, meaning those days were spent in hunger.
