Architecture in a Garden: The Tubu Restaurant

We didn't just place structures in a garden, we mapped the existing topography and trees first. By recycling wood from the old structure into these black, angular pods, we created a space that adapts to nature rather than imposing itself upon it.

The Tubu project was a lesson in restraint. In the heart of Chandigarh, we faced a site defined by its mature trees and brutalist history. Instead of clearing the land, we chose to weave a series of Scandinavian-inspired pods through the foliage. Every black, angular structure acts as a quiet refuge, lined with warm wood to create a sharp, intentional contrast with the wild, organic chaos outside.

This approach is central to how we think about hospitality design. We view spaces as a dialogue, not a static commodity. The pods are positioned specifically to catch light at different times of the day, turning the simple act of dining into a shifting, sensory experience. We utilized recycled materials from the original structure, ensuring the history of the site remains embedded in the new architecture.

This project demonstrates our commitment to adaptive reuse and nature-conscious spatial planning. It captures our philosophy that architecture should not dominate its environment, but rather converse with it, allowing the landscape to dictate the final form. Whether you are looking for this level of integration or a different spatial narrative, we treat every commercial space as an opportunity to build a brand identity that lingers.
