This fine-dining restaurant by Studio Dashline comprises a fluid layout that improves social interaction and the overall dining experience.

Camo occupies a total of 8,000 square feet and is oriented around a central courtyard that anchors the floor plan and fortifies social interaction. This fine-dining RestoBar in Noida, Delhi NCR, designed by Studio Dashline, integrates architectural features that improve the overall dining experience. The courtyard, positioned between two angular volumes, establishes a strong focal point, guiding movement while encouraging pause and engagement. A sculptural staircase wraps through the courtyard, drawing guests upward to a rooftop terrace and inward along a linear entry axis that sets a pace of approach.
The entry experience is choreographed through glimpses of outdoor seating, geometric forms and a linear fountain. These features frame the path ahead and establish a composed, immersive atmosphere from the outset.
Each of the flanking wings is designed to support distinct social dynamics. The left side promotes informal interaction, with open bench seating, a bar finished in black cobble tiles and grooved granite shelving, and cane pendant lighting that adds warmth without distraction. Along one continuous wall, debossed abstract Persian motifs provide subtle visual texture, reinforcing the room’s horizontal rhythm.
By contrast, the right wing is suited for more focused dining. A stepped ceiling and pyramidical skylight introduce vertical expansion, while the live kitchen — finished in dark chocolate terracotta bricks — places culinary performance at the centre of the experience. Guests are able to observe the preparation of dishes, particularly those centred on tandoors and grills, reinforcing the relationship between cooking and atmosphere.

Spanning above the central reception, a connecting bridge links both volumes and allows for uninterrupted circulation. More than a practical feature, it represents the balance between casual and formal zones, creating an overarching sense of cohesion.
Surrounding outdoor spaces further diversify the experience. The rooftop bar, Sora, offers a private setting for events, while garden-level seating areas create opportunities for smaller gatherings and informal community interaction. These exterior pockets are framed by water features and planting, offering a relaxed counterpoint to the architectural structure.
