The proposal included a developed floor plan and a series of renderings of both the interior and exterior of the project. The inspiration for the design was Thai temples so the design included a change to the roof shape and structure to reflect the architecture of Thai temples. Besides the exterior the project included Thai art on the interior. The program included a kitchen, interior and exterior service lines, a bar, seating, and a performance stage. Sawatdee was not selected for the location so the project is unbuilt.
