Chit Chat Chai is a tea cafe that sits in the busy cityscape, in the lanes of Hyderabad. It’s an offbeat sight to its contrasting surroundings. Nestled within the lanes of a commercial neighbourhood, this cafe brings warmth that one seeks to experience after a tiring day at work or a quick hangout session with friends and family over the weekend. The location of this recreational spot in the city is expedient to the ease of access for its users. This café is creating its niche in the conglomerate of cafes scattered in the locality.

As cliché as the charming combination of closed and open sounds, it never gets old. The elevation of the tea cafe has been designed in the modern style design. It is the main focus of the building. Glass façade with ACP cladding on it.
Within the cafe, one can sense the concoction of aesthetic, warm and cosy. Keeping the ceiling plain and neat with curves at the edges. The counter is the main focus element for the inner space. The counter is clad with green marble wrapping into the countertop.
The bar shelf is the main focal point of the space, with backlit stretch fabric with the hanging magnetic track light on the counter.
The wall accents within the space are fluted panels. This project not only covers the interior and exterior design of the cafeteria but also houses the product design done and executed to fit within the idealised 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 seamless tile flooring throughout the project has given the material a new identity under the modern, theme-based style.
The mezzanine floor has the maximum seating capacity of the space with a low-height plain ceiling which has a curved profile light and walls in wooden beading with company theme branding. This floor has a dedicated PDR area for small gatherings.
Chit Chat Chai 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 visit the cafe once again.
