Thank you @widchapmanarchitects for bringing our crazy ideas to reality with such care! ••• Posted @withregram • @archsystems When notable restaurant designer Wid Chapman, Principal of @widchapmanarchitects , was tapped to design another concept for the Star Dhamaka Team, it was a fast-track project gutting and redesigning an existing Indian restaurant in just two months. The new space was centered around a strong regional theme: Kerala in South India, encapsulating a more lush, tropical ambiance showcasing an area traditionally known for its house boats. The structure had a shaped, sloped ceiling, and installing a thatched roof mimics the feel of a Keralan home and immediately conjures up a sense of place! 💫 Inspired Design The choice of Chizel® Wood Panels for @semmanyc emphasizes the texture and dimension on the different surfaces throughout the restaurant and compliments the wall mural that alludes to the interpretation of the South Indian motifs, deities, and more. With the bar front being a focal area, we wanted a rich texture with dark wood that would contrast the lighter ceiling without reading too literal. The diagonal patterns in the Chizel® Wood Panels set just the right tone for this cutting-edge client - Unapologetically Indian - Greenwich Village NYC dining venue. 💫Creativity and Collaboration This was the sixth restaurant we designed for this group and having collaborated with ASI for many years we knew ASI Materials would allow us to incorporate a theme while merging spatial and architectural constructs. Known as advocates of dynamic, detailed, and curated designs we know that guests can always anticipate a wonderful time in our inventive and multifaceted social settings. Let’s collaborate on your next project!!️ #interiordesign #restaurantdesign #hospitalitydesign #wallpanels #texturedwallpanels #woodpanels #interiorarchitecture #creativityandcollaboration #nycrestaurants #greenwichvillage #coolnycrestaurants
