Havana Enchantment

Project Sky Block by Pantone Collective Design Studio is the transformation of a nightclub into an all-day eatery and terrace bar. This 6,000-square-foot hospitality space is located in a busy shopping district of Noida-NCR. Tanya Chutani, principal architect, Pantone Collective Design Studio and her team have taken inspiration from the neoclassical and baroque architecture of old Havana to create a layered atmosphere at Sky Block.

A tropical mural which is spread across a 100-feet-wide facade makes a bold statement, and announces the eatery and terrace bar in the busy and bustling shopping mall. Once inside, the property is lined with fluted wall panels that contrast with the existing contemporary site profiles. These blue ribbed wood panelling is fragmented with geometric arches and colour. The handcrafted modern arches along with vintage artwork and paintings compliment the signature Havana theme. A burnt orange hue lights up the atrium which opens up into a double-height stairway that leads to the spectacular terrace lounge and bar.

The entire theme is done in bold shades of marine blue and vintage mural graphics, along with a contrasting rich colour palette that tie the design together. Soft curved settees are scattered throughout this eatery and terrace bar reflecting the eclectic style of traditional front porches of Havana. Various styles of custom suede dining banquettes, monotone marble tables, and a two-toned furniture add warm unifying elements to the sophisticated custom and vintage geometric-infused furnishings. The blue fluted panels and indoor landscaping create an intimate seating oasis for guests.
