WORLDTECHEssensai 067 in Whitefield markets itself as an open-air lifestyle and community destination
A photo essay in YourStory's PhotoSparks series profiles Essensai 067 in Whitefield, a site that brings together dining, entertainment, shopping, wellness and culture in a green, spacious setting.
Open-air format sets the site apart
According to the YourStory report, Essensai 067 has chosen not to follow the enclosed-mall model. Its positioning rests on an open-air concept aimed at lifestyle and community use.
Visitors spend their time in landscaped spaces with relaxed outdoor experiences, rather than moving through a boxed building, the report says.
Events and community programming
The report lists a range of events associated with the site: a world music festival, a telecom expo, a millets fair, a climate change expo, a wildlife conference, a startup festival, a Diwali rangoli event and a jazz festival.
The report also describes the site as pet-friendly, a feature it contrasts with many other retail and dining destinations.
Design aims at slower visits
According to the report, the artworks and design are meant to encourage visitors to slow down and spend quality time on site, with a stated focus on sustainability, culture and community engagement.
The account comes from a single outlet's photo essay, so the claims about design intent and the visitor experience are that outlet's own characterisation.
Open questions
- How many visitors or tenants does the site currently attract?
