CONCEPT

The main concept of the design is the contemporary expression of tradition which basically means expessing the tradition in a modern way. We have achieved this by using traditional jaipur elements such as jaali,courtyard, and arches in a modern context.

The name “ELIXIR” means a magical or a medicinal potion which tells about how our cafe is.

Form Development

A rectangular block by aligning its longer side in NE-SW direction according to climate so that thermal comfort is maintained inside the building throughout the year.

The whole block is divided into 2 area blocks, one being the main seating (for public,blue block) and other being the service area(for staff,green block).

Combined both the blocks to create an interesting form which goes with the climate as well as the function.

Curved the edges in the whole block because it helps people to relate with the structure and makes them feel relaxed and hopeful much more than the sharp edges.

CUBICLES

DISCUSSION AREA

Banquette seating with planters brings in greenery to this relaxed environment.

WAITING AREA

One can get the feeling of comfort and coziness even by sitting in the waiting area.

The pergola seating with planters in the cafe keeps it connected to the nature. As it is on north side, it remains shaded and can be used in daytime.

Complimentary colours along with archways create an interior with fresh feel. Even though ,the space is open, it is ensuring privacy to every individual.

A secure and comfortable place for artists,writers or to share news, debate philosophy and talk politics.
