Studio KDA lives and breathes restaurant design, bringing deep expertise in architecture and interior design to every project. Great service feels seamless—for staff and for customers. We design restaurant layouts around the way your staff work and the way guests move, interact, and dine, with careful attention to circulation, clear sightlines, intuitive wayfinding, and comfortable lighting and acoustics. We design varied and engaging seating arrangements so that every visit to your restaurant feels fresh and new and there are no bad seats.

We’re fluent in San Francisco Bay Area health and building department requirements—across all major jurisdictions – and skilled at coordinating with mechanical / electrical / plumbing (MEP), food service equipment, and structural consultants. Our deep technical expertise means fewer surprises, supporting the approvals process and facilitating smoother project execution.
