When one thinks of luxury interiors, a few names are bound to rise to the top. Among them, PAD Space Artisan has carved a niche for itself as a purveyor of fine interior and landscape designs. This is never more evident than in their breathtaking project Vecho Thonglor. Drawing inspiration from the vastness of ocean liners and the meticulousness of culinary tales, Vecho stands as a testimony to PAD’s unrivaled expertise in luxury restaurant interior design.

Naming Inspiration: Echoing Oceans and Vectoring Journeys

At its core, the name Vecho is a fusion of ‘Vector’ and ‘Echo’. While ‘Vector’ signifies directionality and motion, ‘Echo’ resonates with the reflection, much like a signal bouncing back from radar. Both terms aptly encapsulate the essence of the restaurant – a gastronomic journey inspired by ocean liners, where each dish tells a story of distinct routes. The first chapter of this tale takes diners on a voyage through the French Riviera, with a French-inspired menu complemented by unique creations from the chef. The subsequent chapters remain shrouded in mystery, promising surprises in store for guests.

A Night at Sea: Crafting the Interior Narrative

PAD’s design genius becomes immediately evident as one steps into the Vecho Thonglor restaurant. They aimed to recreate the ethereal experience of night sailing under the moonlight, offering diners an ambiance akin to a cozy food cabin on a luxury liner. This vision takes shape most vividly when guests ascend to the second floor. Here, they are welcomed by an exquisite Vecho ship model. As they navigate past this, a curtain reveals the dining bar, where silhouettes of chefs can be seen crafting culinary masterpieces behind textured glass. A receptionist, poised at the host stand, offers a warm welcome, enhancing the entire maritime experience.

Instagrammable Corners: Marrying Aesthetics with Functionality

Further exploration reveals a ‘check-in’ zone, reminiscent of a captain’s command center or the bridge of a ship. With an astute understanding of modern culture, PAD designed this area to serve dual purposes: functionality and being a photogenic hotspot for the ‘Instagram’ generation.

Rustic Elegance: Attention to Detail in Design

Delving deeper into the restaurant’s aesthetic, the main dining hall showcases PAD’s unparalleled attention to detail. Drawing inspiration from a ship’s window profile, this theme is replicated at both ends of a feature wall, emphasizing the warmth of wood complemented by elegant copper trims. While budget constraints led to the use of walnut laminate texture over real wood, the effect remains uncompromised, contrasting beautifully with the floor hardener and the kitchen’s façade. The result? A robust rustic-industrial ambiance.

A technique of infinite reflection, using ship window profile mirrors, further augments the state-of-the-art atmosphere. This and capsule-shaped hanging lights at Echo reinforce the overarching design narrative.

A poignant touch of blue serves as the accent color, visible on mural walls and furniture, aptly representing the oceanic theme.

Tailored Design Meets Sustainability

In their approach to bespoke interior design, PAD Space Artisan closely tailors their services to each client’s unique preferences and character. For private projects, the team identifies and interprets the client’s distinct character, often gaining insights from subtle indicators such as a client’s attire, choice of vehicle, architectural nuances of their existing residence, or even their social media content. These cues assist the design team in crystallizing a vision that resonates deeply with the client’s personal lifestyle. On the other hand, commercial projects are predominantly influenced by branding and marketing guidelines. PAD then fuses this direction with the project’s context and historical elements to invigorate the space with vibrancy. In both realms, there’s a commitment to sustainability. Whether it’s integrating renewable energy sources, ensuring optimal resource utilization, advocating recycling and waste reduction, using environmentally conscious materials, adopting efficient transportation systems, or weaving green spaces seamlessly into their designs, sustainability remains a cornerstone of their design philosophy.
