With its garden restaurant renovation, the Land & Golf Hotel Stromberg initiated an ambitious three-phase development plan. This first phase demonstrates how thoughtful interior design achieves both visual appeal and functional efficiency. For the garden restaurant, the client prioritized superior acoustics, new ventilation systems, generous spatial planning, and comfort.

Schlumberger Design Interior Architecture captured the building's character and reinterpreted it for today. Their strategy centered on longevity—both in material selection and design approach. The result is a timeless interior where guests linger comfortably and staff enjoys a practical, low-maintenance environment. Warm finishes like walnut wood furnishings, acoustic ceilings, and buffet elements create an inviting atmosphere. Light-colored, durable tilework seamlessly bridges the indoor and outdoor spaces while reinforcing the overall ambiance.

The interior designers balanced aesthetics with practical requirements: spacious 1.05 x 1.05 metre tables flex easily between couples and groups without rearrangement—enhancing both guest experience and staff efficiency. A dedicated beverage station streamlines service flow and reduces bar congestion. Modern swivel chairs complement the design while improving comfort and service delivery. The standout feature is a custom acoustic ceiling: sound-absorbing fleece combined with walnut-finish slats delivers both the desired acoustic quality and remarkable cost savings compared to off-the-shelf systems.

The lighting design creates depth through strategic zoning with indirect sources, establishing an intimate atmosphere. Three gable areas are highlighted with delicate pendant fixtures—their soap-bubble-like forms introduce visual lightness and poetic grace. The renovation brought technical demands: pre-existing screed cracks required stabilization beneath the new tile floor. The custom suspended ceiling proved most complex, incorporating three different slat widths with speakers, lighting, and ventilation ducts aligned to millimeter precision.
