Project Description
The architectural design of the space draws inspiration from the deep cultural and culinary heritage it represents, crafting an environment where tradition and modernity coexist in a seamless narrative. The spatial composition emerges as a monolithic entity, rising from the ground with an earthy solidity that anchors the dining experience. Materials such as granite and marble establish a tactile connection to Southern India’s historic monoliths, while frescoed ceilings and intricately textured walls elevate the visual storytelling. The fine dining area unfolds organically, with fluid layouts complementing the natural movement of guests. A private dining enclave, centered around a striking circular table, fosters intimacy and exclusivity, with ceiling frescos adding depth and artistry to the ambiance. Throughout the interiors, the interplay of polished and raw textures, soft fabrics, and patterns inspired by Indian motifs enhances the sensory richness, creating a space that resonates with both cultural heritage and contemporary sophistication.
Ascending to the upper level, the cocktail bar introduces a shift in atmosphere, balancing the grounded elegance of the dining area with a lighter, more dynamic energy. The illuminated circular form of the bar becomes a focal point, with cascading ripple-like patterns extending into the ceiling, reinforcing the theme of fluidity. Natural light filters through glass blocks, transforming the space throughout the day, from a serene, Zen-like retreat to an animated, immersive lounge as dusk sets in. The walls embrace a playful interplay of digital art and handcrafted frescos, ensuring a constantly evolving experience for visitors. Every detail, from materiality to spatial flow, is orchestrated to heighten the connection between the culinary journey and its architectural envelope. Enveloped in this carefully curated ambiance, the guests’ experience lingers beyond the meal, leaving a lasting impression of connection, discovery, and timeless craftsmanship.
