About the project
The design is with a focus on sustainability & giving local community support by using eco-friendly locally sourced materials that reduce the carbon footprint. Bamboo a highly versatile quick-to-regenerate material, is used for lighting & adds to the vibrancy of the narrative. Reclaimed wooden screens regionally-sourced, jute ropes, mocktail counter made from reclaimed wood are other green materials used. The design features three types of dining areas. The dark terrazzo flooring, locally sourced mosaic-topped tables add artisanal highlights. The centerpiece of the design an assembly of bamboo pendants suspended overhead, woven by local craftsmen adds to the textural vibrancy. Some ceiling portions are draped with soft folds of fabric adding gentleness & contributing to acoustics.
The design balances modern design with traditional craftsmanship & wisdom, demonstrating mindfulness towards the earth, the hospitality business & the designers’ commitment to using sustainable materials.
