With the aim to target people from all ages and people with different interests, this new bar situated in Hennur, throttled to host a large sum of people. This chic pub has a spread-out area of over 87,000 sq. ft. The venue is strategically chosen to host a magnanimous number of people and accommodate all types of events.

The name itself takes you on a Greek trajectory, exposing you to the whites and blues of the Greecian landscapes, yet establishing a sense of belongingness and warmth in a place.

A visual taste of Greece

Designed to reinstate an awe-inspiring experience in Oia, the revolutionary design introduces small pockets of interaction while retrofitting and creating a Monolithic concept. The city of Oia, Greece is a relatively contoured destination, with minimal flat lands and more diverse levels, a city within itself was crafted.

Distinctive design

Divided into three distinct sections, the design boasts an entrance of 120 running feet, followed by the restaurant area of 130 running feet, and finally a villa area of 40ft. As one explores each area, a feeling of seamlessness is introduced by keeping the ground covered but open, exemplifying freedom.

With one’s arrival at the bar/kitchen outdoor area and the ten cabanas, a completely different vibe is introduced. Despite its differences, this refreshing rendition of a Greek city was a nuanced intersection of built and unbuilt spaces, as the team meticulously planned the layout for an unobstructed sense of levitation and international design language. 

Sustainable takeover

Sustainability and budgetary considerations have been kept at the forefront of the design of this magnetic built environment. When the clients requested a subtle atmosphere, Team Chromed was able to deliver it effortlessly. No need for loud colours or flashy decor, just understated sophistication.

Designing and curating larger spaces efficient and judicious use of area while also focusing on an increased attention to detail, hence, the design team found a way to reduce costs by using locally sourced and cost-effective materials.

They chose randomly-cut Kota dispersed in synchronicity while juxtaposing it with white cement and white-washed walls for a clean, modern look. With a minimalistic approach to construction, only 30% of the area is dedicated to foundational construction, while over 40% of the total area had an MS structure-build.

A reduced carbon footprint is fused with minimal aesthetics with the smart usage of abundantly-available materials has rendered the restaurant with class-apart stature.

Artful interiors

Further on, one is greeted by a breathtaking triple-height ceiling, supported by the classical touch of the majestic arches. From any level, you’ll be able to feast your eyes on panoramic views of the bustling metropolis.

The artfully designed interior is a fusion of modernity with bohemian accents, typified by eclectic lighting fixtures and furniture, imbuing relaxation and calmness. Incorporated in our designs are the two magnificent domes gracing the premises – one in the open courtyard, the other ensconced within the covered area.

Blue hues

Additionally, to immerse the guests in a captivating adventure that will leave them breathless, a vast 2000 sq.ft. waterbody was introduced in the design layout, surrounded by lush aquatic plants and diverse schools of koi pond fishes.

The guests experience the exhilarating force and rush of the water as the installed misting system sprays within the water itself, immersing everyone in a captivating and sensorial escapade of sound and sensation.

And when it’s time to relax, retreat and rejuvenate with one’s set of people, a move to one of six perfectly crafted cabanas, nestled among verdant foliage for a simple and chic escape was ideated and brought to life.

The integration of this waterbody not only creates a unique ambience but also cools the space naturally, controlling the micro-temperature, and bringing it down by four degrees. The open layout is complimented by a circulation system that maximizes breathing space while maintaining proper flow.
