Cafe Concept

The concept is generated from the St.ann’s allotments and combining with the conceptual precedental studies done in research

Just like the allotments, customers here will have a good look at the courtyard vegetation. Since the Courtyards are slightly angled, 3 mirrors across the window are tilted as well to capture the green from outside.

Sustainable Heat Generation

The heat generated from the tea making process is extracted with the help of extractor and redirected to the glass houses. This heat adds to the already achieved temperature during the day time A false ceiling was thought through with arched coffers such that the sound from the interactive tea making process is suppressed.
