Masked in the lanes of Gokulam road in Mysore. The White teak cafe in Mysore is an off-beat sight to its contrasting surroundings. Nestled within the lanes of a commercial and residential neighborhood, this cafe beams warmth that one seeks to experience after a tiring day at work or a quick hangout session with friends over the weekend. The location of this recreational spot in the city is expedient to the ease of access for its users. The White teak Cafe is creating its niche in the conglomerate of cafes scattered in the locality.

As cliché as the charming combination of open, semi-open and closed volumes sounds, it never gets old. The design brief for the project is to revamp the existing 50 years old building and the barren land prior to this designer cafeteria was to achieve aesthetics within time, budget and reflect tropical nature.
The metal and cane patterned roofing hovering over the stage with bespoke lanterns, designed and made on-site alongside another tropical-themed mural make the view picturesque.
The open dining surrounded by a white perforated boundary behind planters and dangling decorative lights on the top set the mood right for an evening rendezvous. The elevation of the old building has been revamped into new contemporary style design, this is the main focus of the whole space.
Within the cafe, one can sense the concoction of aesthetics and tropical nature. Right from the vegetation sprouting out of the walls to the cane roof that casts radiance uniformly throughout the space- this cafe is all-natural amidst the desert of concrete. The slim counter cantilevers the top slab with a wall washer beam of light to give a floating effect.
The wall accents within the space are bespoke to the design and handmade by professional artist makers. This project not only covers the interior and landscaping design of the cafeteria but also houses the product designing done and executed to fit within the idealized concept.
Every single piece of furniture and lighting has been designed to blend with the feel factor of the space and radiate the perfect amount of light in the perfect sense.
The use of tandoor stone throughout the project has given the material a new identity under the contemporary, theme-based style, unlike its traditional use.
White teak cafe, is one such place where one would enjoy the evening with some good company and remember the place.
It is easy to design a place to remember but the trick is to make one feel comfortable and call them back to the same place- and one will definitely visit the white teak cafe once again.
