With the idea of catering to diverse customers, the Café called ‘The Hauss’ is part of the campus of a Game Zone, located on a tertiary street of a developing area in Surat, Gujarat. Spatially, it consists of two blocks — a semi-enclosed food preparation area and the outdoor paved area for seating, which allows guests to partly observe the preparation of food. The intervention was to be done in an existing metal framed structure that would accommodate the seating in a L-Shaped area adjoining the Shed of Game zone. A raised platform at the junction of L Seating invites bands to perform, adding vibrancy to the entirety of the site.
The Idea was to achieve a free spirited space, which can be integrated into the scene of everyday life and become a private destination where people can shake off stress and feel relaxed. The fabric ceiling covering metal frames with inverted vaults looks like a marquee, an outdoor festive space, giving it a European street café vibe.
