Inspired by the Roman terraces, the interiors of a 400-seater microbrewery “Candles Brewhouse” in Bengaluru, are designed to have a Neo-Classical Roman theme, where every detail pays homage to the magnificence of classical architecture.

The outlet of Candles Brewhouse is on the 13th floor of an Indian Green Building Council (I.G.B.C.) certified mixed-use building. The key challenge was to seamlessly integrate and ensure the outlet’s services, such as electrical, plumbing, food waste disposal, and microbrewery effluent discharge, met and exceeded the required norms so the building’s certification status would not be affected.
This multi-terrace brewery, with its peripheries opening into the skies, draws in a breezy atmosphere. Meanwhile, the rustic red canopies sit across the peripheries, all arched and in contrast with the white Roman installations and the floor finish.
The ambience is improved with a well-manicured landscape. Water features and lighting design bring in a dramatic element across the space.
Furthermore, the use of carefully selected finishes and materials, adorned with intricate detailing, elevates the space to a level of opulence and sophistication.
To achieve a fast turnaround time for the project, the team deployed metal fabrication and civil works simultaneously. Additionally, the designers pre-made the railing balusters off-site for quick and easy installation.
The design achieves the cornice, frieze, and architrave details using ready-made fibre-reinforced plastic molds. Meanwhile, artisans skillfully handcraft and mould the shaft and base.
Moreover, with Bengaluru’s highest microbrewery as its backdrop, enclosed in arches with a glass facade to give guests a view of the brewing process, the dining area has columns, Roman statues, and lush greenery.
With the dining areas split across two levels, a water body at the entrance with a staircase rising over it gives an expansive view of the city as you go higher up the staircase to access the upper dining area.
The design tucks the kitchen and services away at the rear, ensuring minimal interference with the patrons’ overall experience.
In summary, patrons enjoy a range of exquisite craft brews and an immersive experience, where the ambience of a bygone era transports them to the majestic time of the Romans. Step into grandeur and travel back to the time of the glorious era of the Romans.
