We were excited to develop a new design concept here - it felt fitting given the restaurant’s name, Navateet, meaning new and old.

Our concept draws on the evolution of Indian dining, from the craftsmanship of the Mughal era, through the iconic curry houses of the 80s and 90s, and into today’s contemporary fusion of Indian cuisine.

The interior layers bold colour, rich palettes, curated prints and bespoke detailing.

We wanted to honour the idea of old and new within the design, retaining select Wildwood elements while introducing new features that bring depth, warmth and a refreshed identity to the space.

We’re pleased to share a series of photos from Navateet - a modern Indian restaurant in the heart of Brentwood and a project that holds particular significance for us. This site is one we originally designed over a decade ago as a Wildwood restaurant, so returning to reimagine the space has been a meaningful milestone for our team.

Kingston Island /Ravens Ait

Ravens Ait sits in a distinctive position on the Thames, shaped by its riverside setting and long association with maritime training. For many years it served as a base for the Navy League and the Sea Cadet Corps, giving the island a clear naval heritage that informed our approach to the guestrooms.

Our work across the public areas focused on strengthening the connection between land, water and building, using a palette drawn from the river and surrounding landscape. Contemporary detailing and calm, natural tones bring clarity and warmth to the interiors. The guestrooms take subtle cues from the island’s naval past, combining structured detailing, layered lighting and a material palette to create spaces that feel grounded, welcoming and functional.
We look forward to seeing our concepts develop into reality.

The public areas at Ravens Ait were designed to reflect the island’s unique setting on the Thames. We introduced a palette inspired by the river and surrounding landscape, bringing warmth and simplicity to the reception and wedding rooms.

Contemporary detailing, soft natural tones and considered material choices create spaces that feel calm, welcoming and closely connected to their environment, a refined backdrop for celebrations on the island.

A project we are proud to have shaped.
