“ You don’t need a silver spoon to eat good food. but you definitely need an attractive  environment to drag you towards it…” 

Our Client has had its own bakery since 1996 providing solitude to customers and making them happy. It came to us with the purpose of expanding which is right next to the existing bakery. We took this as an opportunity to serve our clients with nothing but good just the way they do to their customers.

It all started with a basic step of developing their brand identity from “ Shree Jain bakery” to  “Le-Jaah” which depicts the simple action of come and grabbing your food. Lejaah was our budget-friendly project which came with its own challenge of a tight budget and extremely short time limit to complete it.  

“ Tight Budget was nothing but an asset to NOT restrict ourselves with material and explore  more…” Says Ankit Sojitra 

The Exterior has its own beauty gifted from the site as there are three levels before opening the door of lejaah which was identified swiftly. It follows with the road level than the Footpath ( Walking Path ) level then our pavement block level which is nicely designed with different sizes of concrete tile. It’s a juggle-up of tile placement and lastly our bakery level.  The Steps are materialized with the combination of green tone and black granite to bring out its boldness of it.  

The Center of attraction was the wall holding up the boarding of Lejaah made out of metal plate and letters with the finish of brass.

“ For us Green was our happy color, supporting nature and keeping us healthy just the way our client wants to keep their customers healthy resulting into the usage of green shades all around” Quoted by Mayur Mangukiya. 

The back of the boarding is covered up with the budget-friendly cladding of subway tiles along with the brick red ACP (Aluminum Composite Panel) Sheet to enhance the elevation and solving the technicality of smuggling the rolling shutter machine in it.
 
As it was mentioned earlier the doors of lejaah come after crossing three different levels.  Moving forward the bakery is covered with the amazing flooring of terrazzo green chips mixed up with white concrete along with the green stone which detail each and every piece of furniture/ rack placed.

There is an Inlay of Text “ Level up “ implemented in the flooring as soon as you enter inside  conveying a message that “ you are finally here and we welcome you with open hands”. Right after there is an open counter/ Cash counter placed into “ L” with an amazing  overhead of metal rack. The Material palette was controlled by using the same green stone  and ACP sheet along with nice zig zag metal sheet which has been powder coated with  pastel green color to break the simplicity of the counter. 


The Racking System or the purchasing area was kept secluded towards the right side after a  wide opening to avoid the clustering of customers. Each rack are of same size and same  detail to keep it more of subtle look. The rack is of again a metal rod and perforated sheets  on the overhead storage for some venting purpose. These racks can easily get dismantle (If  want) and smooth for keeping it clean. There is a square metal pipe passing through all over  the rack for the easy movement of customized ladder all over the bakery.



The circulation is getting broken by the center element placed around the structure member acting up as a display for imported items. 
Graphical representation has its equal share all around the bakery. From Miniature size humans drawn on the column to the 5 feet human drawn in the back of the cash counter which is the exact replica of our client working in his old bakery.
