Paradise restaurant in London, designed by Dan Preston.Paradise which formerly housed another eatery is located on Soho's busy Rupert Street and measures just 51-square-metres.Walls throughout the restaurant are finished with micro cement and the floor is lined with black tiles. The ceiling has been covered with a limewash-style paint and fitted with a series of Iroko-wood beams, mimicking the roofs of Bawa's buildings.

In keeping with the urban theme, the furniture and fittings are made from brushed or black-coloured stainless steel and finished with a bespoke patina developed in the studio's workshop.The restaurant is illuminated by rows of spotlights that run across the beams, as well as cone-shaped pendant lights that hang over the counter.

As diners enter the space they arrive at a brushed stainless-steel bar located on the left.Three black-steel tables and concrete seating booths with brown leather cushions line the wall on the right, while tall, black stools wrap around the bar counter and the large, steel-framed window that looks out onto the street.

A more intimate table is positioned in a slightly raised snug at the back of the restaurant. Its walls are partially clad with terracotta tiles crafted by Stoke-on-Trent-based studio Reiko Kaneko, each imprinted with a leaf motif.The tiles, which have been placed alongside an exposed-brick wall, lend the snug a warmer appearance in contrast to the grey cement used across the rest of the restaurant.A collection of potted plants also run along the back of the snug and dangle down from its ceiling.
