An Architectural and Interior Design Journey in Jalandhar
Notorious, a 12,000-square-foot rooftop RestoBar and speakeasy in Jalandhar, stands as a beacon of innovative design and experiential luxury. This architectural marvel effortlessly combines botanical elegance, pastel serenity, and intricate craftsmanship, offering a sensory retreat that redefines urban leisure spaces.
The project holds a special significance for its visionary client, who embarked on this ambitious journey despite being new to the hospitality industry. The brief was as captivating as it was challenging: to merge two contrasting worlds into a singular, cohesive space. Notorious rises to the occasion by seamlessly integrating a vibrant outdoor tropical paradise with the dark allure of a secluded speakeasy, creating a mesmerizing fusion of opposites.
Ascending to the open rooftop, visitors are greeted by a botanical haven inspired by greenhouses and opulent cabanas. The design is dominated by pastel hues, exuding elegance and warmth. Long seating benches highlighted with vibrant accents, granite tables featuring intricate groove details, and rustic pastel cutlery contribute to a visually enchanting dining experience.
At the heart of Notorious are three distinctive cabanas surrounded by lush landscaping, vertical gardens, and serene water features. These intimate spaces are complemented by a private dining area and an outdoor bar, where vaulted arches and brass shelving details create a striking visual statement. A brass skylight crowns the bar, infusing the space with a soft, inviting glow. Jute-fabric-shaded walkways connect these spaces, ensuring a seamless flow and offering a serene retreat for guests.
The architectural narrative is brought to life through the use of metal structures and hut-shaped cabanas adorned with glass cutouts that welcome natural light. Every corner of this rooftop paradise is infused with botanical charm, creating an environment that feels both luxurious and grounded in nature.
Hidden behind a cleverly disguised, artwork-framed door lies the speakeasy – a captivating counterpoint to the rooftop’s vibrant openness. Dark and mysterious, the speakeasy evokes the glamour of yesteryears with contemporary sophistication. Brass finishes, handmade tiles, marble inlay flooring, and intricate detailing set the stage for an intimate and refined atmosphere. Vaulted ceilings adorned with linear tube lighting enhance the sense of grandeur, while plush tan leather sofas and patterned green upholstery chairs provide luxurious seating.
Notorious is more than just a Rooftop RestoBar and speakeasy; it is an odyssey of design and imagination. Every detail, from the verdant rooftop to the enigmatic speakeasy, tells a story of elegance and innovation. Step into Notorious to explore a world where contrasting styles converge, and the fusion of classic and contemporary design creates an experience that is as captivating as it is timeless.
