Restaurants today are more than just spaces to dine - they offer immersive experiences that engage all the senses. This paper explores the concept of an Aquatic Restaurant, a design typology that draws inspiration from underwater environments to create a calming, immersive, and luxurious space. Combining biophilic principles, sensory-responsive design, and spatial innovation, this concept goes beyond aesthetics, offering therapeutic engagement, visual delight, and environmental connectivity. The paper outlines the spatial program, design methodology, case studies, and technical challenges involved in developing such an experience-driven restaurant.
