Loop Design Studio has completed a rooftop restaurant in the brutalist context of Chandigarh, India. 

Named Tulum-Jungle Rooftop Restaurant, described as “an experimental paradox”, the space is a rooftop restaurant that offers panoramic views of the city skyline.

The studio draws inspiration from the Mexican getaway destination by the same name, Tulum is curated as a superfluous, green and vernacular oasis.

The design reflects a natural and an earthy undertone that comes together in a systematic fashion using natural stone, bamboo, terrazzo, wood, cane, plaster and greens.

The story starts unfolding from the entrance atrium adorned by bamboo wainscotting and ethnic abstract ornamentation. A shower of cane light fixtures from the ceiling creates a surreal vibe as one moves closer to the restaurant.

The entrance axis is a sensory and an experiential bliss that comprises of a water cascade and a bamboo arched passage that frames and encompasses the view. The narrow bamboo gateway opens up into a cozy and dynamic seating area.
