Old Fort started as an idea to build a funky new bar and eatery showcasing a fusion of New Indian food, art, music, traditions and hospitality culture in the heart of Auckland city. I was a part of this project from the very first day and started with creating the identity of Old fort in the form of its logo.

Our Solution

I designed Old Fort to be a fine dine eclectic restaurant showcasing Indian traditions, arts and the hospitality culture. It is a spot to unwind and relax in a traditional Indian style and talents. Old Fort’s ambience gives an elegant Indian experience with lounge style seating and delicious tapas menu to snack away. This space is also used to showcase exotic Indian traditional arts combined with classical and fusion music.

I invited Venkat Raman Singh Shyam, a contemporary Indian Gond artist to create a six meter long wall mural at Old Fort. This masterpiece was inspired from the fusion of senses.

After the completion of the Interior project I continued as the design consultant for Old Fort. As my aim was to keep the brand identity flowing seamlessly, I designing the menus and even creating all online marketing creatives for the first two months.

Old Fort has to be one of the projects closest to my heart. If any of you have the time and are near Queen Street, Auckland, I Invite you to Old Fort for an experience that will touch all your senses.
