Melt, the high-energy cocktail bar, is a concept that revolves around the use of chocolate liquor in its cocktails, featuring modern organic interiors within a 10,000 sq. ft. area nestled in the bustling hub of Skymark, Noida.
Editor’s Note: “Melt transforms the essence of chocolate into an immersive spatial experience, dipping in the art of fluidity. The interiors offer a space where indulgence is tasted and felt through layers of warmth, rhythm, and organic textures. Deep coffee browns and electric blue waves ripple across each corner, reflecting a cocktail in motion.” ~ Anusha Sridhar
Melt, A Cocktail Bar Fuses Modern Organic Interiors With Immersive Design | Pantone Collective
It creates an immersive experience with its interior design that reflects the name and concept of “melt. The space has been meticulously designed to embody the flow and movement of the melting concept. Thus, featuring organic walls and soft curves.
Moreover, as guests enter the bar, they encounter a hidden vault entrance, sparking intrigue and setting the tone for the cocktail experience.
The entrance is designed with fluted deep coffee elements, leading into the main arena. Within the inner floor area, a social banquette setup is combined with a dining experience. Moreover, it offers guests a variety of options for both dining and cocktails.
To create contrast and resonate with the high-energy atmosphere, designers artistically incorporate the color blue as the Pantone pop-up color, embedding it into the flooring as terrazzo inlay that resembles spilling melt waves.
The blue color also wraps around the 360-degree amoeba-shaped bar, serving as a focal and interactive point between the outdoor deck and the inner cocktail space.
The bar facade features dramatic lighting effects that transform it with a multi-hue effect. Overall, it creates a dynamic and ever-changing character.
Upside-down arches flow throughout the space, reinforcing the organic design intent. Columns and ceilings showcase embossed abstract art resembling melted chocolate, enhancing the fluid design concept.
A private dining room, accommodating 15-20 guests, is designed to provide a sense of luxury and privacy. It includes a private bar and a massive round cutout that leads to this exclusive vault.
The room features a vaulted ceiling and a prominent art sphere installation. Earthy terracotta tiles adorn the façade of the private dining room. Moreover, it showcases the ingredients and products used in the chocolate cocktail mixology. Furthermore, it emphasizes the concept of the space.
The outer deck features a double-height bar, accompanied by a curved staircase. It leads to a performance area overlooking the guests, creating a high-energy impact. A round gazebo space serves as a distinctive feature. Moreover, it houses a spline and a highly reflective sphere as an installation that reflects the surroundings. An in-built water body beneath the sphere adds drama to this gazebo.
Organic and boho-inspired banquette seating will enhance the outdoor experience, complemented by soft and warm lighting tones. The use of lush tropical foliage as part of the landscaping brings a soothing and fresh ambiance to the outdoor bar area.
In the outdoor area of Melt, designers incorporate a mix of deep browns, coffee tones, and pop-up blue into the in-situ terrazzo flooring. Moreover, they laid the flooring in an abstract art pattern. This creates a visually striking contrast against the lush tropical foliage of the outdoor space.
The deep browns and coffee tones in the flooring complement the earthy and warm ambiance of the outdoor area. These colors create a sense of grounding and harmony with the natural surroundings. The pop-up blue color, on the other hand, adds a vibrant and energetic touch to the space. Its artistic placement in the terrazzo flooring creates a focal point. Additionally, it adds an element of intrigue and visual interest.
However, this combination of deep browns, coffee tones, and pop-up blue in the terrazzo flooring enhances the overall aesthetic of the outdoor area.
Melt’s modern organic interior adds depth, texture, and a touch of contemporary flair to the tropically lush surroundings. Thus, making it an inviting and visually captivating space for guests to enjoy their cocktails and dining experience at Melt.
