Coast Café in New Delhi, designed by Studio Lotus is a two-level culinary and aesthetic escape in the midst of the cultural hustle and bustle of the city.
It has sublime interiors that are draped in sunlight. Its spaces are peppered with neat, potted plants, and its air is punctuated by just the right mix of pleasing colours. On its walls are collections of artistic inspirations particularly in favour of up-and-coming, young artists. The team from Studio Lotus, founded by Ambrish Arora along with Sidhartha Talwar and Ankur Choksi aptly encapsulates the philosophy behind the restaurant-bar as being simple, modern and paying attention to detail - with a focus on a handcrafted material palette.
Coast Café’s ambience has been inextricably influenced by the overwhelming noise and clutter around it - a factor that is the focal point of the success of its design. In an indulgent atmosphere of colours and trinkets and drapes, it is restraint indeed to conceptualise a space that is populated by white walls and wisps of greenery. All credit then must go to Studio Lotus’ ingenious talent towards recreating the soul-refreshing magic of the coast right in the middle of urban sprawl.
