An intimate Parisian-inspired cocktail bar designed to bring craft, creativity and social energy into the heart of Soho.

The brief

The brief was to design an intimate cocktail destination that captures the spirit of Parisian aperitif culture within the energy of Soho. The space needed to feel refined yet approachable — somewhere guests could gather for beautifully crafted drinks in a setting that felt relaxed, social and atmospheric. Inspired by European café culture and contemporary cocktail bars, the design explored layered textures, expressive materials and a carefully composed lighting strategy to shape the mood of the space throughout the evening. The ambition was to create a venue where the architecture quietly frames the experience — allowing conversation, craft and creativity to take centre stage.

Scope of Work

Kotak Design developed the interior concept and spatial planning for the venue, exploring the bar design, material palette and overall atmosphere of the space. Our work included layout studies, lighting concepts, furniture direction and architectural detailing to establish a distinctive identity for the cocktail bar.
