Banquets play a key role in communities, especially within the South Asian diaspora, preserving traditions while bringing people together for important celebrations. In Salt Lake City, The Heritage vault redefines contemporary banqueting by blending Kolkata’s rich heritage with modern design. Inspired by Kolkata’s European influence, temple architecture, and the Bengal School of Art, the design mixes Gothic and Romanesque styles with local craftsmanship. Cross-vaulted ceilings and detailed columns bring together the city’s historic roots and a modern feel.

The design prioritises functionality and guest experience, with a well-planned layout that includes a pre-function area, main banquet hall, bridal rooms with lockers and makeup facilities, green rooms, and accessible toilets. The banquet hall, accommodating 100-200 people, offers a flexible layout for easy movement and adaptability to various events, ensuring privacy, convenience, and comfort.

Unlike typical banquet facilities with temporary setups, the design includes permanent infrastructure for operations. A metal grid system in the ceiling allows quick installation of lighting, décor, and other elements, eliminating the need for time-consuming setups. This ensures smooth event execution while maintaining the space’s aesthetic and adaptability for personalisation.
