THE TERRACE

Saniya Kantawala

This restaurant is primarily for millennials and gen-X; the entire theme and decor for the space includes elements that are attractive to this generation. For me, designing the restaurant and understanding the client brief and bringing it to life was instinctive, as I am a millennial myself. Hence, pink has been used in a variety of ways in the space. The finishes on the walls and flooring have been kept fairly restrained. The predominant use of soft pink hues are offset by pops of blue, green and orange and the use of brass imparts a sleek finish to the furniture incorporated indoor. The exposed ceiling is adorned with dainty, jewel-shaped lighting. The bar, positioned centrally within the 2000 sq.ft indoor space is surrounded by seating that includes high bar seating and circular booth seating. Pop art dots the walls, perking up the interiors and adding an element of quirk. On the other side of the glass partition lies the outdoor seating area that spans over 600 sq.ft and is easily the most endearing spot in the restaurant. A centrally positioned light installation sets an ideal tone, with the space being further enhanced by the inclusion of several potted plants. Quirky bent chair plates accessorise the walls of the garden and the seating has been arranged in such a way that it makes one feel like they are amidst an art garden. A swing installed in the garden also lifts the ambience of the space and creates a visual that makes the restaurant ‘photo-worthy’, just as the clients desired.
