Prequel’s design brings an industrial edge to Hebbal with a warm, social-first layout. We balanced high ceilings and open views with intimate, light-filled pockets.

## About Prequel: Industrial Chic & Social Spaces

When we designed Prequel, the priority was modularity. Because it is an all-day dining spot, we used moveable furniture and varied seating zones to ensure the space feels just as comfortable for a busy lunch crowd as it does for a relaxed, quiet evening drink.

### Our Approach to Industrial Warmth

Design is not just about the final look, it is about how a space functions for your guests. At Prequel, we kept the original high ceilings and exposed ducting to maintain that industrial grit, but we softened the edges with natural wood and a carefully chosen greenery palette. This balance is critical in Hebbal, where the city skyline is a major part of the experience. By using large windows and glazing, we blurred the line between the indoors and the beautiful city views outside.

### Designing for Social Dynamics

We focus on zoning to guide the guest experience. The bar, clad in muted subway tiles, serves as the heart of the space, especially as the lighting shifts from bright, natural daytime tones to a dramatic, warm glow in the evening. To create social pockets, we used community tables with woven pendant lights alongside more private, plush lounge seating. This allows the restaurant to host everything from large parties to intimate dates without the space ever feeling empty or overwhelming.

### Intentional Details

The entrance lobby was a specific challenge. We installed a lenticular wall and a massive light installation to create an immediate impact. It is a moment of discovery that sets the mood before guests even reach the main dining floor. We are big believers that these small, intentional details—like the texture of wood logs against sleek mirrors—are what make a commercial space feel like a destination rather than just a place to eat.
