The site located on Hennur main road consisted of a single floor plate. The requirement was to design two restaurants, Santrupti (Indian cuisine) and Chung Wah (Chinese cuisine) along with its kitchen spaces within the same floor plate. Santrupti being a pure vegetarian restaurant meant that the kitchens could not be merged.
Chung Wah was rendered with a rustic theme with exposed concrete finishes, metal drop lights and wooden clad elements. Graphic backlit elements provide a subtle recall factor for the cuisine without indulging in cliched typical elements. Santrupti on the other hand is designed with an eclectic Indian theme. The dominant colour pallette of the spaces is curated in blue, resonating with the plaster finished walls of the blue city of Jodhpur. A coffee shop occupies the entrance foyer overlooking the main road. This was added as a casual intermediate space that brings the two restaurants together, and converts the space into a day-long food joint.
