Designed with the nostalgia and cheerfulness of past memories, Lounge bar is located in – Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad which brings in fond snippets of years gone by, emphasizing that ‘there is something for everyone.’
This project is executed and designed by team Rohit Suraj, Rohit Patnala from Urban Zen and is Spread over an area of 15,000 sq. ft. This multi-level lounge and bar, is a harmonized mix-bag of aspects that color the interiors with an engraving of unremovable ink. The design approach clearly presents colorful streaks in a grey toned theme, bringing the name of the project to be more artistically intricacies.
The brief from the client was simple and primarily required the curation of a space relatable to a wide range of users from different walks of life. With the concept of concocting a quirky environment with bold interiors, each portion of the ambience tends to grasp the attention of the visitor. The design scheme thus is aimed at presenting people with a ‘non-intimidating’ environment that portrays its inclusive ambiance through a warm color palette and engaging graffiti.
The Lounge Bar, quaintly distributes its spaces from the second floor to the terrace floor levels. With each floor possessing a distinct design perception, the common vibe of an intimate entertainment set-up is seamless. With a façade accomplished in pine wood, the structure announces the vibe of its interior, from the inception itself.
Upon entering the second floor, one is welcomed by a double heighted space which imparts an essence of magnanimity to the entrance. The artistic bar zones are differentiated from the relaxed lounge areas by its vibrant epoxy floor finish. With a back-lit display, the bar serves users with a tangy cocktail of experiences. A human graffiti, sketched on the wall gives the space an off-beat look; while the usage of wood and ambient lighting sprinkles the area with the requisite warmth. Usage of mild steel frames and black tandoor flooring for the double height pockets, supplement the bar with a re-defined sense of modernism.
The other portion of this floor is divided into mellow lounges with dimmed yellow lighting to amplify the customer’s comfortable experience. Mirroring the grey tiled flooring in the soft furnishings, these spaces utilize profuse amounts of wood, evidently displayed as a part of the aesthetic pine wood frames and the instilled decor.
Further on, as the design meanders into the mezzanine and terrace floors, one stumbles upon the accentuated colorful mosaic pattern placed across the walls as you journey upwards. Added to break the monotony of the dark themed décor, it portrays an essence of illusion when an individual moves between levels. The feeling of vitality has been subtly expressed through the inculcation of wooden massing and green wall installations, adding a more defined character to the connecting corridors.
The décor of the mezzanine floor is in complete compliance with that of the second floor, with a bar in vibrant epoxy flooring and aesthetic mild steel structuring. However, the decorative pendant pattern of the ceiling, is what completes the charming layout. Serving the functional aspects of acoustic treatment, DGU glazing has been installed which also aids in creating the visceral ambiance.
Arriving at the next level a further varied combination of seating milieus and configurations are presented to the user. With the schema laying out one indoor and two outdoor seating areas, the design composition offers a slight variation in flavor. The quaintly beaming bar houses a combination of deck wood flooring and vintage light fittings. Encompassing illuminated neon art on the walls, the outdoor seating arenas are bound by mild steel frames with over 300 exquisite bulbs hanging from them to create a showering ‘host of golden lights.’
The culminating level consists of two semi-open seating options and a luxurious private lounge. Decorated with three-dimensional art in bright hues of blue and yellow, the ceiling has cone lightings illuminating the aura of this serene set-up.
The design of the Lounge Bar, is a sheer corollary of bold compositional styles ranging from being up-beat and to sophisticated luxury.
