apart. A pan-Asian restaurant located in Koregaon Park, Tsuki encapsulates the beauty of a Zen Garden, inspired by the tropical sights of Bali,with a rainforest like setting. Although a pan-Asian restaurant, the owners wanted to stray away from typical Asian décor elements like black and red hues, and contemporary, western décor. And so, they opted for a natural ambience characterised by ample of plants and greenery. The name Tsuki means moonlit, and that was designer Keith Menon’s cue to give the place an open roof design with a skylight in the central section of the restaurant. Here, they fixed a collection of solar panels that power the entire restaurant. Since the restaurant was surrounded by plenty of natural greenery before designing, Menon decided to go for a garden theme, filling the interiors with amply of planters and foliage. This part was done in collaboration with Ugaoo, who executed the horticulture seen throughout the restaurant. Keeping in line with the natural theme of the space, Menon opted for muted and minimal tones with rustic décor, and elements like wood, wicker and stone, to match the aesthetic. He wanted to ensure that all base colours of fabrics were neutral, so as to avoid any harsh elements. Sustainability is another important factor in the design philosophy of the restaurant. Not only is it fully solar powered but has also made extensive use of reclaimed teak and sheesham wood to create the furniture.
