We create functional, inviting hubs that blend professional technical requirements with a distinct sense of calm and connection.

The entrance to Kana Cafe in Bangalore, a project conceived as an urban retreat. The design was inspired by breaking down barriers between the interior and exterior, allowing the serene, natural setting to become an integral part of the cafe experience.

The outdoor seating area at Kana Cafe, inspired by the breezy, nature-integrated cafes of Bali. The space features a glass canopy, minimal furniture, and a small arched opening that acts as a pickup point for delivery services, blending aesthetics with practicality.

The sun-kissed outdoor seating at Kana Cafe is covered by a glass canopy, with minimal furniture in olive green metal and grey rope. The lime-plastered white walls and concrete flooring enhance the raw, earthy, and natural feel of the space.

This video showcases the design of Kana Cafe, a sophisticated urban cafe that seamlessly integrates with nature. The space offers a refreshing and breezy vibe, with light filtering through lush greens to create a rejuvenating atmosphere.

The bright and airy staff canteen at Campus Biovet is dotted with lush green courtyards. This design provides a refreshing relief for employees during a hectic workday, bringing natural light and greenery into the large building.

The VIP dining lounge at Campus Biovet features a raw and natural material palette. An exposed brick feature wall, Kota stone floors, an exposed cement ceiling, and a custom cement dining table create a unique, light-filled space adjoining a lush courtyard.

The auditorium we designed for Campus Biovet, with a color scheme reflecting the company's logo. This project required a careful balance of AV, HVAC, acoustics, and aesthetics to create a fully functional and visually cohesive presentation space.

About Hospitality & Community Spaces

Whether it is an urban cafe or a corporate campus, we balance the technical layers—such as acoustics, HVAC, and service integration—with human-centric design. You will see this in how we integrate courtyards into cafeterias for refreshing relief or align auditorium seating with specific branding, ensuring the space works as well as it looks.

This is how we make a first impression. For Hideout Cafe in Bangalore, we designed an exterior that is open and inviting, giving passersby a clear view of the warm, nature-inspired ambiance waiting inside. The combination of modern signage, lush greenery, and a glimpse of the rustic interior lighting creates instant curb appeal.7
Stepping into the semi-outdoor seating area, we created a peaceful retreat. We used woven rattan pendant lights and light wood furniture to establish a warm, eco-elegant feel. The abundant greenery acts as a natural separator, offering guests a sense of privacy and calm.
For this project, we brought nature indoors in a big way. The central tree serves as a stunning focal point, creating a serene atmosphere throughout the cafe. We designed the layout to ensure that no matter where you sit, you have a connection to the outdoors, enhanced by the large window flooding the space with natural light.
This top-down view showcases our approach to space planning and creating a functional customer flow. We designed distinct seating zones around the central tree, including intimate tables for two and larger arrangements, ensuring the layout is both visually interesting and practical for a busy cafe.
