THE CULINARY LOUNGE
INTRODUCTION
Location: Film nagar, Hyderabad
Area: 4210 Sft.
Interior designer: HR LINES,2017
Nestled in the green environment
of jubilee hills, Hyderabad the
studio is spread across 6000 sqft of site area.
The project being a culinary studio required spaces for interactive learning,
experimentation and social gatherings. The site consisted of an independent house
which had to be incorporated into the new proposed studio making the project part
architectural and part adaptive reuse.
Our approach towards the project was inspired from the natural and raw essence of
the functioning and aesthetics of ancient kitchens around the world.

DESIGN PROPOSAL
The project brief was to renovate an existing house converting it into a kitchen, dining
and lounge space and on the other hand design a new building to accommodate
a studio place.
The existing structure being a house consisted of a living, kitchen, dining and
bedroom which fell perfectly into the spatial conjurations required for the social
gathering aspect of the studio.
This enabled us to renovate the space with minor interventions.

MOOD BOARD AND CONCEPTUALIZATION
The inspiration for the project is derived from frugality
and rustic nature of a rural kitchen. Paying heed to
the context, the project tries to translate the rural
design elements into a contemporary design.

An interesting feature existing at site was the Gabian wall, which they tried to
incorporate in their design.
The proposal for new studio structure demanded a contemporary appeal as culinary
experts and students from all over the world. The studio required to have free
movement space for the master chef to instruct and attend individual cooking
stations.
Thus, barring the possibility for intermediate columns within the structure, the design
was directed towards a steel framed structure. This enabled us to improve the speed
of construction.
The design language for the studio is kept rather transparent and minimal.
The existing gabion wall is used as a backdrop element while most of the interior is
painted white. To bind the aesthetics to the underlying concept natural cadappa
stone is used for -ooring and a touch of earthy element is giving through a brown
laminated wall.
The facade with -oor to ceiling glass attempts to blur the line between the interior
and the exterior landscape area.
