Thought of recycling wooden pallets for the world cuisine palate thus evolved
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Hospitality design is a highly challenging area where the interiors need to stay fresh and appealing with the future trends in design. Pallet is a microbrewery that was designed with this thought. Unconventional use of wooden pallets for the interior decor is the uniqueness of this restaurant.

Although materials used are in raw state it gives international look and attracts even expats from the city

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Recycling used wooden pallets was a challenge. They needed to be sorted out for the finish and also quality. All designed were evolved from a module of a single pallet. Wastage needed to be calculated and reused in designs to achieve zero wastage. Certain wall treatments like PDR, open kitchen and ceiling of bar area was kept open for design depending on the wastage calculations. Weight of pallets to be suspended from ceiling needed to be calculated from structural point of view.
CHALLENGE: The place is huge and linear in shape. Positions of existing services of building imposed on having Kitchen on one side thus making the space narrower and feel long. Different sections were needed to break the linear feel of the space yet not compromising on quality of space. Modules of Wooden pallets were designed in certain pattern along the column grid and the exterior wall to give feel of privacy without compromising on visual continuity. Repetition of modules was the key factor in design.
