Interior design?

How can I model the relationship between a structure (e.g. a restaurant) and its interior designer?

That depends on how much detail you want… I would imagine that, at a minimum, you would want a CVT with the target of the design, the designer, and the date. Is one date enough? And what’s the target of a design? A structure seems too large; business do not always occupy an entire structure. If you are primarily interested in restaurant designers, that suggests that it would be a property of restaurant locations. Prototype it in your domain, play around with it, invite others to play, and see what develops.

On the Structure type, Architect, Engineer and Contractor could be merged into a single CVT of contributors that would allow for a wider range of roles such as Interior Designer, Landscape Architect, Lighting Designer etc.
In the case of restaurants, it's often the case that one architectural firm will create the design for an entire franchise so you might also consider that would be modeled as well.
