Walking into YUZU feels like stepping into a carefully curated dreamscape—where warm textures, earthy tones, and playful design accents converge to create a Pan-Asian dining experience unlike any other in Dhaka. Located in the bustling neighborhood of Dhanmondi, this restaurant is not just about food—it’s a celebration of space, craft, and atmosphere.

For Bangladeshi artist Dhananjoy Mondal, art has always been a river—flowing, shifting, unpredictable, and deeply connected to the soil that raised him. A painter of rivers, fields, and rural life, his work is as much about colours on canvas as it is about memory, patience, and belonging. Over the decades, Mondal has carved out a career not only as an accomplished painter working in watercolour and acrylics, but also as a dedicated teacher shaping generations of young artists at Seabreeze International School. His journey tells a story of evolution, but also of constancy: no matter how far his brush has traveled, it always returns to the waters of his childhood.

Hidden in the busy streets of Tikatuli, Dhaka, stands the Rose Garden Palace—a place once alive with grandeur, now quietly fading into the city’s chaos. Built by zamindar Hrishikesh Das as a symbol of pride and culture, the palace has lost much of its shine over the years. Recognizing its fading legacy, Adnin Tazry, a student of North South University, developed the vision through Studio X, guided by Ar. Mujtaba Ahsan and Ar. AKM Saleh Ahmed Anik, to bring it back to life. Her project, “Spirit of Freedom: Reviving the Historical Rose Garden Palace,” proposes to transform the site into a museum and cultural center that celebrates heritage while engaging the community.
