    KADALAS CAFE (Renovated) : Architect-Area Built Year Location

    Uploaded by

    Gayathri
    The document describes renovations to Kadalas Cafe in Kozhikode, Kerala, India. The renovation involved altering the roof heights of the existing 300 sqm, 3-level building to create more volume without changing the area or structure. This created a unique space for experience dining with views of the sea. The exterior and interior feature minimal detailing and ornamentation to keep the focus on the sea views. Furnishings use traditional teak wood to accentuate simple lines and not obstruct views. Each level provides different views, with the base featuring a curved jali oriented to the beach, and the top housing a lounge with an unobstructed view.

    CASE STUDY NAME-S.GAYATHRI

    KADALAS CAFE(Renovated) Architect-Zero studio SUBJECT-DESIGN STUDIO

    Location-the Gujarati Street Area-300 sq.m


    in Kozhikode, Kerala (India) Built year-2018

    Elevations
    Before
    renovation

    After
    renovation
    The design involved reforming this building
    with no changes in the existing area or
    structural elements but in volume by altering
    the roof heights.

    A unique space for ‘experience dining’.

    This was to be done using the three


    available levels in an existing building
    The limited detail and
    ornamentation in the exterior, as
    well as interior, has been a
    conscious decision so that the sea,
    with its changing colors, remains
    the major focus of the design.

    The façade is enveloped in corrugated cement sheets


    and rest of the exterior reflects similar hues with
    exposed cement and glass finishes.
    Color-shades of blue and yellow along with plain cement finish
    the flooring.
    Finishes and accessories- being antique or obtained thus
    reconnecting the building with the past.
    The choice of furniture- is mostly traditional - designed with a
    minimalistic approach.Old teak wood panels make up for seat
    and table tops, used without polishing off their patina. 
    They accentuate on simple lines in order to not obstruct the
    outside view.
    Of the three
    levels,
    Three levels the base level
    features a
    curved jali
    which orients
    the circulation
    and view
    towards the
    beach sands.

    The third
    level
    houses a
    lounge
    space with
    a barrier-
    free view
    The middle level offers an elevated scenic
    to the
    view of the beach waters filtered through
    horizon.
    the foliage of a tree.
