Discover Melthouse in GK, New Delhi – a delightful blend of a cosy European café and the welcoming warmth of a historic pub. Inspired by the character and detail of old-world establishments, Studio Bipolar‘s design narrative encapsulates a rustic, lived-in aesthetic, inviting patrons to experience a nostalgic journey with every visit.
On the lower floor, guests are welcomed into a haven of comfort and tranquillity. A captivating coffee bar, adorned with hand-painted signage, sets the stage for indulgent moments of relaxation. Bathed in natural light and overlooking a picturesque park, this space exudes an open, inviting ambience, perfect for savouring moments of connection and conversation.
Venturing to the upper floor unveils a hidden gem – a rooftop retreat where evenings come alive with the enchantment of live performances. Evoking the spirit of a speakeasy, the indoor area boasts an intimate stage framed by vintage-inspired décor. Against a backdrop of simple yet elegant hues, curated artworks and vibrant textiles take centre stage, infusing the space with a dynamic burst of colour and character.
Throughout Melthouse, attention to detail reigns supreme. Vintage mirrors and hand-painted murals transport guests to a bygone era, while accents such as delicate lights, curtain dividers, and whimsical wallpapers add an extra layer of charm and sophistication.
Every element, from the carefully selected materials to the placement of each décor piece, contributes to the overall ambience, ensuring that every visit to Melthouse is a memorable experience filled with warmth, nostalgia, and delight.
