The Space
Vintage Vibes is a two-floor multi-cuisine restaurant designed as a journey through two historical eras. The ground floor draws inspiration from the British colonial period, featuring warm wooden interiors, vintage detailing, and coach-style arched booth seating reminiscent of classic railway dining.
The first floor transitions into the Mughal era, where the interiors reflect the grandeur of sheesh mahal spaces and tikri-inspired detailing. Ornamental arches, patterned walls, and skylights create a dramatic play of light while adding richness to the dining environment. Together, the two floors offer distinct atmospheres within one cohesive dining experience.
The Ask
The brief was to design a multi-cuisine restaurant with a strong visual identity, where interiors would become a defining part of the dining experience.
The concept required two contrasting yet connected environments across two floors. The ground floor was envisioned with a British-era vintage character, while the first floor needed to capture the ornamental richness of Mughal architecture through arches, reflective surfaces, and decorative detailing.
The Result
The final design brings together two distinct architectural narratives within one restaurant.
The ground floor creates a warm, nostalgic environment through wood finishes and coach-style booth seating, while the first floor introduces Mughal-inspired arches, tikri work, and sheesh mahal references enhanced by skylights and layered lighting.
The result is a multi-cuisine dining space where history, atmosphere, and design combine to create a memorable and immersive experience.
