The Ahmedabad branch was to look very different from Kailash Parbat’s earlier ventures and the budget had to be kept to a minimum without compromising on design and user comfort. Being a multi-cuisine restaurant, Gaurav Kharkar & Associates wanted to achieve global appeal with the interiors. The furniture layout has been done keeping flexible seating arrangements in mind. Simple, straight line circulation ensures plenty of movement space between the tables. Gaurav Kharkar and interior designer Vidhita Parekh Kharkar took a conscious decision to make the flooring and ceiling the focal elements of the design. The criss-cross patterned flooring tile starts from the waiting area and continues right through, maintaining continuity. The ceiling showcases black and white vinyl photographs of Mumbai to create a sense of connectivity with its roots. A palette of white, cement grey and brown laminate delightfully contrasts the bright blue seating. The chaat counter stands out as a unique wooden cube, exuding subtle hues of brown and grey. A combination of modern silver finished suspended lights and indirect pelmet lighting (all LED fixtures) creates a harmony of calming illumination.
