The space is full of decadent details, with Oaky timber beams covering the ceilings and touches of gold bronze trims, finished with Moonlight silver lights. A beautiful and sophisticated ambience is created with a running theme of grey stone, brown leathers and blue and white accents. The industrial and rustic patterned flooring adds a touch of the thrilling night with distressed grey industrial stone tiles create a noir flooring that resonates with the blue and reddish yellow ambient lights in the different parts of the restaurant.

The member golfers use it in the day around the backdrop of Golf activities and as a cool rendezvous, amidst lively lights and colours in the evenings and nights.  Image Courtesy © Design Atelier The architects surveyed a crumbling existing old structure and put in place an elaborate structural retrofit to save and put it to renewed use. Also, as the old building was disconnected from the expansive natural environment all around, it was decided to reconnect the building to the surroundings by removing unnecessary walls and reducing the loads on the foundations. The primary approach in transitioning the cold raw, isolated structure into an artistic vibrant and colorful restaurant was to focus on reinfusion of a natural harmony with the new spaces created during construction.

Seating orientations were integrated into 360 degree viewing seats and special decor was created using, lights, colour, and textures, combined with Design Route’s custom identity graphics in the interiors and merged with a tranquil landscape with water bodies to add a chic expression to the panoramic exteriors.

In the evenings, the under-pool lights illuminate the entrance forecourt with colours, reflecting light in a multi-coloured dance.

Simple Contemporary booth-style furniture is used for families in the dining section, and groups of relaxed chairs and sofa loungers are used in the bar. Up lighters are used to create an effect of upward movement of light. Round false ceiling in three offsets with a light in centre flashes downward, and cove lights create a soft background whispering effects on the glossy white ceiling that celebrates the golf ball textures and an abstract imagery of the hole in one.
