Gardenia Rooftop: Dining Above the Cityscape
​
Perched in the heart of Dhaka’s evolving skyline, Gardenia Rooftop reimagines the dining experience with a blend of modern sophistication and urban charm. Conceived as both a culinary and social destination, the project unfolds in two distinct yet harmonious settings: a semi-open area alive with the vibrancy of the city, and a glass house restaurant where architecture and atmosphere converge.
​
​
" Gardenia Rooftop elevates dining with style, offering a modern glass house under the stars, designed for comfort and connection, it’s a versatile space where culinary delights meet urban energy. A rooftop escape in the heart of Dhaka, perfect for both intimate evenings and lively gatherings. "
​
​
The glass house is a centerpiece of modern chic design. Its transparent envelope frames the night sky, allowing diners to savor meals under a canopy of stars, while smart climate solutions ensure comfort even in Dhaka’s intense summers. By day, the space fills with natural light; by night, it transforms into a glowing lantern above the city, an elegant backdrop for memorable dining.
​
The semi-open zone celebrates openness and community. Anchored by a stylish drink station, it offers casual seating under the sky, with views extending to the urban horizon. At its core lies a raised platform, thoughtfully designed to serve as a stage for private events, live music, or intimate gatherings—turning the rooftop into a versatile hub of culture and celebration.
​
Strategically located within walking distance from the city’s new Metro station, Gardenia Rooftop is more than a restaurant—it is a vision of urban hospitality. The client’s ambition is clear: to create a welcoming landmark for Dhaka’s growing metropolitan community, where accessibility meets elegance and every visit feels like an escape above the bustle.
