We turned a historic Indiranagar home into a vibrant sushi parlour by layering local Channapatna crafts, candy-colored walls, and thoughtful stone details.

The alfresco dining area at Lucky Chan combines a playful pink wall with bold yellow and red tile panels. The design uses color and pattern to create a cheerful and highly photogenic restaurant interior.

We used locally mined Sadaralli granite for the floors and walls in the outdoor area. This durable, textured stone provides a neutral base that balances the bright colors used throughout the rest of the restaurant.

The layout of Lucky Chan was designed as a series of interconnected rooms, reinterpreting the structure of the old house it occupies. A neon sign adds a modern, playful touch to the layered space.

About Project Spotlight: Lucky Chan Sushi Parlour

The layout of Lucky Chan challenged us to respect the bones of an existing Indiranagar house while creating a high-energy dining atmosphere. We used large mirrored beams to dissolve the structural divisions, effectively making the space feel open and fluid, while the Channapatna ceiling installation acts as the main visual anchor.

I’m Shruti. At MAIA, we don’t just design interiors; we tell stories through spaces. Lucky Chan was a labor of love, blending my obsession with Indian heritage crafts like Channapatna lacquer with the high-energy vibe of a sushi parlour.
