Life is a bittersweet journey. The same philosophy is applicable to Griddy’s layered aesthetic approach, a contemporary bistro by the park that serves up freshly-made sweet and savoury waffles. To create visual interest that sparks conversation in every inch of the casual dining hub, a harmonious marriage of composition and balance was adopted to dictate the space’s design sensibilities. The spongy, sumptuous texture and square pattern of waffles became a prominent inspiration to soften sharp edges and hard surfaces for an inviting ambience that fits for lunch and dinner among friends, lovers and families.
To match the crown-cut teak with a mate finish, a vibrant palette composed of stately blues and reds are in place to add flair with details – as seen in the wall tiles, the frames of the dining chairs and the alluring fabrics of the built-in banquettes, to name a few. The eye-catching geometric shape of waffles is further extended to the overhead shelves at the service bar, the whimsical brand logo highlighting the entrance wall, as well as the ingenious treatment for floorings, walls and ceilings to express an understated yet versatile design language.
While the dining hub is blessed with sizable transparent glass that enhances spaciousness, the creative team decided to accentuate the window seats with an eye-catching element – a series of compact glass panels in peachy hues to give a colourful boost. The surprisingly sophisticated pastel simply puts any diners at ease with its own sense of serenity. The get-together haven is certainly not a static place, it continues to grow and evolve with such refined, meticulous elements that contribute to a self-contained universe of joy and imagination. Your ideal picture of a truly well-lived life begins here.
