Studio Dashline has designed Notorious, a rooftop RestoBar that blends aesthetics with functionality, creating an immersive and timeless space in Jalandhar. Notorious is an exquisite architectural and interior design marvel in the heart of Jalandhar.
Spanning 12,000 sq ft is a rooftop RestoBar designed by Landscape Designer Paras Sareen Associates, and Architects Dheeraj Bajaj, Founder & Principal Architect, Shriya Sohi, Co-Founder & Principal Architect and Pranav Dakoria, Co-Founder & Principal Designer of Studio Dashline.
The design seamlessly blends lush botanical beauty with soft pastel elegance and impeccable craftsmanship, offering an unparalleled atmosphere of sophistication and charm. A destination like no other, where every detail reflects the vision of its talented designers.
This project holds a special place for the client, who, despite being new to the world of hospitality, approached it with unparalleled enthusiasm. The brief was as intriguing as it was challenging – the desire to incorporate two contrasting worlds into one cohesive space.
Notorious seamlessly merges an outdoor tropical haven, vibrant with greens and bright colours, with a dark and secluded speakeasy, creating a harmonious blend of opposites.
As you ascend to the open rooftop, a botanical paradise inspired by greenhouses and luxurious cabanas unfolds. Pastel hues dominate the space, exuding sophistication and creating an inviting ambiance.
Long seating benches adorned with highlighters, granite tables with intricate grooved details, and solid rustic pastel cutlery set the stage for a visual feast.
The heart of Notorious lies in its three distinct cabanas, enveloped by lush landscapes, vertical gardens, and tranquil water bodies. A private dining area and an outdoor bar, featuring vaulted arches and brass shelving details, break the spatial flow of the cabanas.
A brass skylight crowns the bar, casting a gentle glow over the atmosphere. Connecting these spaces are walkways with jute fabric shading above, ensuring a seamless flow and providing a serene retreat.
Architectural elements come to life with metal members, and hut-shaped cabanas feature glass cutouts, inviting natural light to play within. Notorious becomes a visual masterpiece where every corner holds a piece of botanical allure.
On the opposite end, discreetly concealed behind a crafty artwork-framed door, lies the speakeasy – a captivating shift in ambience where the dark allure of yesteryears meets contemporary sophistication. Dark and mysterious, it exudes refinement with brass finishes, handmade tiles, marble inlay flooring, and intricate details. The vaulted ceilings with linear tube lights create a sense of grandeur, while plush tan leather sofas and patterned green upholstery chairs offer a luxurious seating experience.
Notorious isn’t just a Rooftop RestoBar; it’s a journey through time and design. It’s a place where hidden treasures await discovery, and where every corner tells a story of elegance and creativity. Step into Notorious and experience a world where imagination takes center stage, and the fusion of classic and contemporary design creates a timeless allure that captivates and delights.Notorious isn’t just a Rooftop RestoBar; it’s a journey through time and design.
