LINEAR LOUNGE

DURATION: 2009-2013

LOCATION: DoubleTree by Hilton, Chinchwad , Pune.

TYPE: Lounge Bar.

INSPIRATION :

Major Clientele being corporates from the neighboring IT and Industrial Hub, the owners wanted to create a chic bar where one can unwind after a days hectic work and a lounge where elite patrons from the neighboring area can chill out with family or friends. Programically we had designed a bar on the first floor of the hotel. The architectural character of the space emerged as a Linear Bar.

UNIQUE PROPERTIES :

Linear the lounge gives resident guests a sophisticated and resplendent wine and dines experience. Linear also features a private dining room and packs an incredible range of fine malts and innovative and artistic cocktails. The moon and music at Linear is set to create the finest blends of joy and pleasure for the guests. Linear is also a perfect place for professionals to bring their peers for a comfy evening with dewdrops of unmatched pleasure.

CHALLENGE :

Nature of the space being linear planning and division of spaces was the challenge. Position of the service core further imposed restriction on the position of bar counter. The canopy of drop off area for the ground level acted as extension of linear lounge and was to be used as open-air lounge and a smoking area. Interior Designer Mr. Masafumi Sanada M-Style Japan emphasized on linear planning which would further enhance the quality of space and create an effect of a long bar.
