The design concept revolves around radial fluidity, representing the cultural fabric of Botswana. The name 'KITSI' is derived from the Setswana word meaning kitchen, and embodies the correlation between cuisine and celebration in Botswana's culture.

​

The visual aesthetic of the design is also inspired by agate, a staple in Botswana's mining industry. A central peninsula allows for clear sight lines throughout the space and mimics traditional spatial village design, while highlighting the tradition of celebration through coming together and sharing a meal as a community.  The contemporary approach aids in creating a luxurious space, rich in culture

The design concept revolves around a traditional roman courtyard which thrives on drama and divinity. The approach of an immersive gallery respects McQueen's Design philosophy, playing with the juxtaposition between tradition and modernity.

 

The dramatic use of classical courtyard characteristics, in combination with a more modern and minimalist approach, create the perfect backdrop. The overall design implements a dramatic and theatrical feel, while creating a subtle connection to divinity,death and heaven; which is often seen in McQueen's avant garde approach to his creations. The inclusion of a second floor elevated tailoring experience adds a more personalized and efficient space for customers.
