MANGO TREE CAFE
Semester 5 Architectural Design | 2014 The approach was to create an atmosphere in the space that was once the ‘Mango Tree Cafe’, in sync with an over-all theme of local handicrafts, and symbiotic with the mood and environment of the historical city, rich in its unique culture.
Handicrafts for promotion of their sale.
Rough white wash allows the colourful handicrafts to stand out.
Elements such as the “Wishing Tree” make the design interactive
A white cement rough flooring and wall finish creates a rustic feel.
The furniture layout, the reflected ceiling plan and the flooring layout showing the types of flooring.
Tourists are directed through the handicrafts display to different seating spaces. The rooms and walls display have delicate mirror inlay work.
The sections make most of the existing stepped landscape.
