Client Brief
The committee of the club wanted to renovated the banquet space to completely transform it into a luxurious space where most members would love to host their guests for a celebration. They also wanted the interior finishes to be low on maintenance.
The Club being so Iconic with prominent and elite families like the Birlas and Bangur’s have been members and part of the committee since generations. Also, very popular for its all-vegetarian food, the culinary experience one gets there is the clubs USP. Thus, we had to do complete justice with the interiors for this historic and renowned institution.’
