Pincode 24: Industrial Chic Restobar Design
We turned a massive 7500 sq ft shell in Hebbal into a lively restobar, balancing raw industrial textures with warm, rustic accents.

A closer look at the bar and dining tables. We chose materials carefully to create a tactile experience, from the smooth wood of the furniture to the textured stone-clad columns and the glossy tile of the bar fascia.
The high-top seating along the side of the space offers a different vantage point. From here, guests can appreciate the soaring ceiling, the natural light from the clerestory windows, and the custom terracotta block wall that adds a warm, earthy element to the bar design.

About Pincode 24: An Industrial Chic Restobar
Designing a 7500 sq ft restobar requires managing the flow between high-energy zones and quiet dining areas. We used a terracotta partition wall to physically separate the staircase and private sections, providing a sense of seclusion without sacrificing the open, airy feeling of the double-volume space.
The industrial-chic aesthetic is often misunderstood as cold, but our approach with this project was to ground the raw elements with warmth. The dark steel grid ceiling serves a dual purpose, concealing service lines while providing a structure for versatile lighting, allowing the space to transition from a bright, brunch-friendly spot to a moody sundowner venue.
Key to this transformation was our choice of materials. The live-edge wood bar counter brings an organic touch that contrasts with the hard, cold surface of the concrete-texture floor tiles. We introduced the green subway tiles on the bar fascia to add depth and a hint of colour, breaking up the grey and metal palette.
We didn't rely on pre-made solutions. Every piece, from the bar counters to the suspended bottle racks, was fabricated to fit the specific constraints of this large volume. The clerestory windows were intentionally kept unobstructed to maximize natural light, which hits the terracotta walls at different angles throughout the day, constantly changing the mood of the room.
For anyone looking to convert a large bare shell, the lesson here is simple: keep the layout flexible. By using modular high and low tables, the restaurant can accommodate anything from large corporate groups to intimate evening dates without needing structural changes.
