Project details
Widely known as the nucleus of home-grown breweries in India, Bangalore accommodates and houses some of the best and the most out-of-the-box conceptual restaurants, bars and breweries in the country. With the aim to target people from all ages and people with different interests, this new bar situated in Hennur is one of India’s largest F&B spaces based on carpet area. ‘Oia!’ - as the name suggests is one of our Dreamscape projects - inspired by the all white Greek cities like Santorini.
This new colossal and princely upscale bar takes you for a sensorial adventure ride that will leave you mesmerized. Sustainability and budgetary considerations have been kept at the forefront of the design of this massive built environment. With a large 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. Designing and curating larger spaces efficiently and making judicious use of area while also focusing on an increased attention to detail, the design team found a way to reduce costs by using locally sourced and cost-effective materials. The use of randomly-cut Kota dispersed in synchronicity is juxtaposed 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. It is almost unbelievable that such mind-marking designs have a rather straightforward approach that helps them shape from the ground up.

OIA - A people's place
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 built environment is divided into three distinct sections, the grand entrance, followed by the restaurant area, and lastly, the residential villas. As one explores each area, a feeling of seamlessness is introduced by keeping the ground covered but open, exemplifying freedom. This refreshing rendition of a Greek city was a nuanced intersection of built and unbuilt spaces, as we meticulously planned the layout for an unobstructed sense of levitation and international design language.
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.
Additionally, to immerse the guests in a captivating adventure that will leave them breathless, a vast 2,000 Sqft 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 escapade of sound and sensation.
