PROJECT OVERVIEW
The design of Highway Masala interprets Rajasthani tradition for a modern, multi-cuisine restaurant chain along the Agra highway. The interiors balance familiarity with experimentation: CNC-cut arches and fabric-draped ceilings reimagine vernacular forms, while patterned upholstery and contrasting colors add energy. Floors in terracotta-hued tiles ensure durability and ease of maintenance, while simple wooden furniture — painted and detailed — connects traditional silhouettes with contemporary usability.
