This same concept of ‘High End’ has been carried through to one of the restaurants ‘Chan’ designed by Andy Martin which may remind you the famous Blue Frog by Chris Lee and Kapil Gupta in Mumbai.  The language however is extremely different here, giving a variation to the interiors and treating it like a ‘boutiesque’ project. Here there is aspace within a space approach designed for intimacy and privacy.  The soft materials relax the diner and make him feel isolated and intimate within the circular forms of seating. As opposed to the lobby which is for the public this interior makes you instantly understand that beyond these entrance doors is an interior for the more private and the exclusive.  This notion is not carried through to the second restaurant which is designed with an approachable ambience.
 
One of the most dominant architectural features is the surrounding glazed atrium between these two restaurants. This inside/outside space is the prime focus of the ground floor allowing natural day light totres pass within the interior and at the same time creat an urban area within a paved ‘cityesque’ surrounding. This environmental presence is the perfect balance between the strict mod language of the interior and the natural earth like quality of the landscaped exterior.
