Sankalp

Seating & Furniture Design: The long upholstered bench seating along the wall is a major feature, designed in a muted sage green shade, providing a comfortable and cohesive look. The bench is complemented by large, plush charcoal-grey cushions, adding extra comfort while enhancing the soft, inviting feel. The tables are wooden with a light greyish finish, which contrasts subtly with the darker chairs and seating elements. The chairs are upholstered in deep grey-blue fabric, featuring a curved, modern design for ergonomic seating.

Wall & Decorative Features: The accent wall behind the bench has a textured geometric panel in a scalloped, fish-scale-like pattern, adding depth and a subtle traditional touch. Above the patterned panel, a vertical green garden installation spans the length of the wall, incorporating a biophilic design approach that makes the space feel fresh and vibrant. A neon red "Sankalp" sign serves as a focal point, bringing a contemporary branding element to the space. The bold red contrasts beautifully with the greenery and muted tones.

Lighting & Ceiling Details: The hanging light fixtures above the seating area have an organic touch, featuring round drum-like shades wrapped in wooden slats and adorned with cascading green and red artificial foliage. This element enhances the nature-inspired aesthetic while providing ambient lighting. Recessed ceiling spotlights add to the layered lighting effect, ensuring the space is well-lit without feeling overly bright or harsh.

Flooring & Spatial Organization: The flooring combines wooden planks with patterned tiles, visually segmenting different areas while maintaining a warm and elegant look. The open-plan layout ensures a smooth flow between tables, maintaining a spacious yet intimate dining experience.

Functional & Storage Elements: A built-in wooden counter on the left side serves as a storage or service station, with a few condiment bottles placed neatly on top. A large indoor plant in a ribbed planter enhances the green theme and subtly divides the space. The doors at the back, finished in light wood, seamlessly blend into the warm, earthy color scheme of the restaurant.

Reception Desk & Branding: The reception desk has a sleek, minimalist design with sharp geometric angles and integrated soft purple LED lighting, aligning with the Grant Thornton brand identity. A wood-paneled feature wall behind the desk adds warmth, with the illuminated company logo creating a strong brand presence.

Ceiling & Lighting Design: A wooden slatted ceiling enhances the visual appeal while integrating linear lighting, providing both functional and aesthetic illumination. The combination of recessed ceiling lights and indirect lighting ensures a well-lit yet welcoming atmosphere.

Flooring & Seating Area: Polished marble flooring with subtle veining reflects natural and artificial light, contributing to an elegant and spacious feel. A small waiting area with modern grey fabric chairs and a round coffee table offers a comfortable and stylish seating option for guests.

Material Palette & Ambiance: The combination of wood, marble, glass, and metal creates a refined balance between warmth and sophistication. The neutral color palette with wood tones, grey upholstery, and black-framed glass partitions maintains a corporate yet inviting ambiance.

Seating & Furniture: The long, upholstered bench seating along the wall is continued in a sage green tone, matching the previous sections of the restaurant. Curved-back chairs in a deep grey-blue fabric with black legs provide a comfortable seating option. The tables are light wood-finished with black metal legs, keeping a minimalist and contemporary feel. A mix of two-seater and four-seater tables ensures flexibility for different group sizes.

Wall Design & Accents: The standout feature here is the arched alcoves along the wall, painted in a rich terracotta-orange shade. Each arch is framed with a textured plaster finish in an off-white tone, adding depth and contrast. Indirect warm LED lighting runs along the edges of the arches, enhancing the depth effect and creating a cozy, inviting glow. Traditional-style black metal lanterns with intricate perforations hang inside some alcoves, adding a rustic and cultural charm. The opposite wall has a textured beige finish, adding warmth and a natural aesthetic.

Lighting & Decorative Elements: The hanging pendant lights with cylindrical wooden shades and cascading artificial greenery bring in a biophilic touch. Additional warm white recessed ceiling lights ensure even illumination.

Windows & Natural Light: The large black-framed glass windows on the right open up the space visually, offering outdoor views and maximizing natural light. The arched detailing of the windows complements the curved alcove design on the opposite wall, creating a cohesive aesthetic. The windows also provide a connection to the outside, making the dining area feel open and airy.

Reception / Service Counter: The counter in the foreground is finished in a warm beige tone with vertical fluted detailing, adding texture and elegance. The curved edges of the counter give it a soft, welcoming appearance, making it a seamless part of the space. Above the counter, two framed certificates or menu boards are mounted on the textured wall, ensuring visibility for customers.

Wall & Architectural Details: The wall behind the counter features a textured plaster finish in warm beige, maintaining a cozy and organic ambiance. A vertical niche with an arched top is incorporated into a partition wall, aligning with the restaurant’s overall curved design theme. This niche holds a decorative golden bowl, subtly adding a touch of luxury and elegance.

Greenery & Decorative Accents: A variety of indoor plants are placed strategically, including tall green plants near the service area and hanging plants from the ceiling. The back wall (towards the dining section) features a trellis with lush greenery, making it a focal point that brings freshness to the space.

Ceiling & Lighting Design: The ceiling has rectangular black pendant light fixtures with embedded LED strips, providing focused illumination while adding a contemporary aesthetic. In addition, cylindrical pendant lights with cascading greenery hang above the seating areas, enhancing the biophilic design.

Feature Wall with Tropical Murals: The main focal point is the large circular murals with vibrant green tropical foliage artwork. These murals are framed within arched recesses, creating a harmonious and organic aesthetic. The combination of soft beige textured walls and light wood paneling provides a neutral backdrop, making the murals stand out.

Greenery & Natural Elements: In addition to the wall murals, the space is decorated with real and artificial plants, reinforcing the biophilic design approach. A mix of potted plants, wall-mounted greenery, and hanging vines creates an immersive, fresh dining atmosphere.
