DESIGN NAME: The GreenHouse
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Restaurant
INSPIRATION: With the advent of rapid commercialization and dying green cover in urban areas, their are very limited spaces that are left with natural surroundings. Green house comes across as such a space that creates a setting in natural surroundings that forms the basis of this design. Green house was aimed to become a space filled with natural plants and a natural setting to provide its guests a feel of freshness that translates into food and beer.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The design evolved following the theme of a terrace garden, which was designed with plants all around. The site being a small built up area with a large terrace was thus utilized as a single area. The entire area including the terrace is treated as one, where both spaces flow into each other. The entire construction of the place has been done using eco-friendly materials, like scrap packing wood for wooden cladding, stone wastage for wall cladding, sun-dried clay bricks for flooring and old fused bulbs that work as highlighters. All the metal sections and metal material used in the project has been sourced from scrap thereby not consuming any new material on site. Entire furniture used is recycled furniture picked up from scrap dealers.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The entire space is designed in three distinct inter flowing areas a large area is left in the front as an entry foyer area planted with a lot of plants and trees from where the guest is guided to the indoor area or the outdoor area. Once inside you have a complete view of the entire space and the space in between. The toilets have been placed specifically at the end of the space so that the guest has an opportunity to roam around and discover the entire restaurant.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project was started in oct 2017 completed in dec 2017 the project is located in gurgaon, haryana, India.
