The Dorrance has made a notable contribution to the growth of Faridabad, the largest
metropolitan city in Haryana.
The Dorrance poses as a one-of-a-kind social hub, binding together celebratory experiences and
memories of its guests, augmenting the nightlife of Faridabad.
Designed to draw audiences who are enthusiastic about the city's nightlife, the club complex
follows a contemporary and classical approach with unique design elements integrated into
spaces, highlighting the vibe of the extravaganza. Chromed Design Studio fashions a complex
adhering to the theme of a maze, extracted from the literal meaning of ‘Dorrance’, or,
intriguingly, with design components igniting curiosity in its visitors to explore the dramatics of
every space.
The 10,000 sq. ft. area is divided into five distinct spaces, the main club, the cafe, an open
terrace or family restaurant, a cigar room, and an open kitchen, with every zone, deriving
enriching experiences for its guests. The areas were curated according to the two diverging
crowds of the city, i.e, the corporate crowd and the family crowds. While the club area of
Dorrance attracts the young, the outdoor family lounge and cafe allures the family crowd of the
city.
Dorrance invites its guests through a curious tunnel bound together with arches, and plants
suspended alongside, leading them towards the main door. A total of 15 patterned arches hold
the entrance together that light up in the evening, with one side enabling the guests to get a
glimpse of the semi-covered cafe and the other side covered with green planters. A soft drape
creates a partition between the entrance tunnel and the cafe area, allowing for a visual
connection between the two spaces. The tunnel is the visitors’ first point of contact with the
tangible part of the design, and the careful amalgamation of the key design elements — brightly
lit arches, a soft drape, and plants — gives a photogenic backdrop to the guests, thus
accentuating their first experience.
The entrance tunnel flows towards a series of doors, creating a sense of mystery in the
atmosphere. The main door opens into a smaller entrance foyer which reveals three more
doors, each one leading the guests to a specific space. Every door, including the main one, is
demarcated with a face card — the King for the main door, Jack for the door leading to the club,
Joker for the cigar room, and Queen for the family lounge — which engages the guest with the
space and compels them to open the doors. The flooring of the foyer area follows a radial
pattern with customised marble in black, white, and grey colours. Black Enissle tiles, White
Satvario tiles, and Grey William tiles were cut according to the shape required for creating the
radial pattern, thus accentuating the charm of the theme.
The club is the central feature, tying the design, and the guests together, with distinct elements
outlining the spatial quality of the club. An island bar is situated at the heart of the club adjacent
to the dance floor, with VIP seatings arranged along the walls covered in rich and bold shades
lending a classical touch to the space. The double-height of the club enabled experimentation
with the ceiling and the walls. The ceiling of the club was treated with utmost care and has been
highlighted with the use of eccentric lighting elements. Ornamental chandeliers have been
actively employed to enhance the ceiling, with one large chandelier suspended over the bar and
smaller 30 inches sized chandeliers arranged at strategic locations. A false ceiling hangs 8
inches from the roof, hiding the fire pipes, and embedded with strip lights running around in
various artsy patterns. The innovative use of dimmers controlled by VMX aids in controlling the
intensity of the various lighting fixtures — strip lights and chandeliers — and skillfully brings
forth the club's party spirit. HDMR boards were fixed to the walls with 20 ft glazings to cater to
the acoustics of the club. Artworks and designer elements were hung from the walls with
accent lighting fixtures adding to the celebratory aesthetic of the club.
A cigar room was designed as an alternative approach to an office space. The room served as a
space for the clients to carry out their business meetings while being flexible to hold private,
and informal gatherings. The versatility of the design allowed for incorporating a wine cellar
with shelves for storing documents, giving the clients freedom to use the space as per their
desire, thus changing the culture of office design.
Converging the kitchen and the family lounge area, Dorrance attracts the families of Faridabad
with the addition of spatial features aligned with the inclination of the crowd. The 800 sq. ft.
area is divided into outdoor seating (500 sq. ft.) and an open indoor kitchen (300 sq. ft.). The
outdoor terrace seating holds a small stage for conducting events with patterned lit arches and
high seatings running along the perimeter of the space, lending a mellow, cosy aesthetic to the
terrace.
Dorrance is a confluence of several distinct vibes, resonating with the crowd occupying the
spaces, consciously blended to fabricate transcending experiences filled with a sense of
mystery and curiosity. The innovation in the treatment of spaces, functions, and elements
breaks the conventional approach to club design and delivers a mesmerising setting for the
patrons of the club.
