Bodega is a product of a seamlessly hewn vernacular and bohemian interior aesthetic. Vernacular architecture whispers the wisdom of the ages, harmonizing and embracing its materials’ warmth. The design of the restaurant yearns for timelessness and emphasizes the use of a natural material palette comprising stone, wood, bamboo, and brick. Bodega’s interior decor is eclectic and whimsical, featuring distinctive sculptural art, lighting fixtures, and furniture. The volume opens into a double-height atrium with a parametric bamboo lighting installation dropping down from the ceiling, thus harnessing the beauty of scale and distorting the perception of a cuboidal shell. The ceiling installation is primarily a lighting fixture reimagined as a vernacular bamboo chandelier.
Editor’s Note: “Bodega embodies a harmonious blend of vernacular charm and bohemian allure, celebrating natural materials like stone, wood, bamboo, and brick. Its eclectic interior features whimsical sculptural art and lighting, including a striking bamboo chandelier that cascades through a double-height atrium. This design promises a timeless and immersive dining experience, rich with sensory intrigue.” ~ Shagun Shah
Bodega Is A Product Of Vernacular And Bohemian Interior | Loop Design Studio
The concentric, meandering, and layered installation floats unequivocally in the expansive double-height void. It reiterates our vision of creating a bold sculpture that adds visual weight to the space. The double-height wall cladded in natural grey stone becomes the perfect backdrop for the different axial layers to sprout.
The design divides the space into three primary zones: the bar on the left, the central double-height floor in the centre, and the private dining area on the right. The bar area ceiling is an undulating layer or sheet of twigs, straw, and thatch with miniature incandescent bulbs sprinkled all around that creates a stark, unearthly mood.
The space culminates into a dynamic, curvilinear bar that pops up as we transition from an easy setting. Wooden slats, planters, and outlandish abstract ceiling fixtures characterize the private dining space. Different styles of brick courses create an interesting texture in the central seating area.
Bohemian and tribal motifs and patterns are embedded in various design elements, like the paneling and the doors. The overall goal is to provide an immersive dining experience that invigorates all sensory emotions and sparks curiosity among the users.
