•Methodologies: Design development started from roof design with inspiration from an idea of fetching in natural light through alternative opening flaps in diagonal grid. Outdoor roof was developed with fabricated frame work in diamond shaped grid followed by internal roof in m.s sheet folds with help of local fabricator, making it affordable.
• Diagonal cuts were made in diamond shaped metal sheet. Sheet edges were welded to frame work and the cut panels were folded inwards to fetch in natural light.
•Wire cut bricks were used in partitions with varied brick bonds.
•Dynamic approach was brought in design through tilted axis
in roof, flooring and laying of brick bond.
•Colored bajara glass was introduced to add in texture.
•Wall art as step down seating backdrop was created by jhari work in brick wall.
. tables ,consoles,mock tail counter,sofas were customised .while chairs were procured.
light design for indoor & outdoor was considered and laid accordingly,to avoid the shadow effects created by roof metal panels.
