DESIGN NAME: sutra
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Restaurant & Pub
INSPIRATION: The inspiration for this PUB was drawn from the typical tropical courtyard houses where the indoors and the outdoors are merged together.
The name sutra - means the rules. So the space takes it references from the basic natural elements and rules of nature according to vedic scriptures - ie fire, water, raw earth, sky & outer space.
The overall lighting and colour scheme takes a reference from fire or agni, the cascading waterfall brings in the effect of water or jal, floor finishes are dominated and inspired by raw earthy finishes, the dark ceiling and the open ceiling at the outdoors reflects the sky, and an unique metal hemispherical geodesic dome refers to the space or vyome and refers to celestial structures and constellations.
