Nestled in the vibrant heart of Hyderabad, this property isn’t just a café; it’s a living embodiment of a philosophy—eating well, living well. As a concept store for a brand dedicated to promoting a healthy lifestyle through its culinary creations, the space transcends the simple act of dining. This cafe invites patrons to immerse themselves in a holistic experience that encourages a lasting commitment to wellness.
In a world that’s increasingly drawn to mindful eating, the client envisioned a space that isn’t static—a place that feels as fresh and dynamic as the lifestyle it champions. The goal was clear: to create an environment that continuously evolves, offering patrons a sense of renewal with every visit.

Within these four walls, we aimed to cultivate more than just food for the body—we sought to nourish the soul. Picture this space as an oasis, thriving on its own, a quiet refuge amid the city. Despite the challenge of limited natural light on the ground floor, we turned this into an opportunity for innovation.
A peripheral garden, carefully curated to capture every precious beam of sunlight, now flourishes within this space. It’s a living testament to the resilience of nature and the inventive spirit that drives us to adapt and thrive.
Each table is cradled in this lush greenery, offering patrons an intimate, tranquil dining experience. The garden not only elevates the space aesthetically but also serves as a symbol of life’s vibrant, ever-growing energy.
Spanning approximately 1400 square feet per floor, the design of this property harmonizes with its surroundings, balancing nature and architecture to create a cohesive, fluid experience.
With the challenges of minimal sunlight and an inward-facing site, the design became a study in how to invite nature indoors. Surrounded by retaining walls, the space is transformed into a green sanctuary, with two circular walls dividing the area into distinct zones.
These walls, punctuated by arched openings, frame views of the surrounding landscape, enhancing the sense of openness and privacy in equal measure. Every table offers a unique perspective, ensuring that no visit feels like the last. The design philosophy echoes the client’s branding—rooted in nature, minimalistic, and free from the artificial. Here, patrons are reminded that the most organic experiences are often the most powerful.
This floor is split into two distinct realms. On the northern side, we’ve crafted a serene, private haven perfect for families, offering cozy lounge seating and a sense of seclusion. The southern side draws in the vibrant energy of the street below, with expansive views of Film Nagar. A small, intimate lounge area tucked in the corner invites guests to relax and take in the surrounding scene. Clever use of mirrors expands the perception of space, adding an airy, open feel to the compact floor plan.
The kitchen and administrative spaces, the heart of operations, occupy the top floor. The Managing Director’s office, located on the south side, enjoys sweeping views of Film Nagar.
To ensure privacy, a decorative MS Mesh façade wraps the entire frontage, creating a visually striking and organic wave-like design that mirrors the ethos of the café’s offerings. This façade shields the administrative areas from view, allowing the rest of the space to maintain its inviting, open atmosphere.
Through a seamless integration of nature, design, and purpose, this space reflects the brand’s commitment to healthy living. Moreover, it offers a dynamic, evolving experience that patrons will return to time and time again. Every visit brings a discovery, with each design element reminding visitors that wellness isn’t just a choice—it’s a lifestyle to celebrate.
