A Popping Design

Similar to its other franchises; Tea Villa Cafe has yet again carved a unique experience for its recently launched outlet in Pune.

- Alifiya Mehamdabadwala

The brand which is known for curating antithetical atmospheres and identities with every new outlet brings to full glory its Pune cafe in collaboration with Mumbai-based Co Lab Company. The design identity of the venue has been built upon using Neo-Brutalist inspiration and a play amidst voids and solid facets. Spread over and area of 1,200 sq ft (indoor) and 4,500 sq ft (outdoor), statement hues, floral nuances and a textural interplay weave the narration of this Tea Villa Cafe. The client brief emphasised on taking advantage of the corner plot with a great frontage and visual presence in its neighbouring context along with the provision for a large capacity of outdoor seating to conjure the feeling of a tangible connection with the urban surroundings. The typical requirements also entailed creating a kitchen space that was compact, a storage facility on the mezzanine floor level and a total seating cover of approximately 150.
