Cafe JC’s, a timeless French cafe cum multi-cuisine restaurant located in Chandigarh. This design has become a common spot for celebrities and influential personalities, and it’s not hard to see why. Today, we’re going to take you through the journey of its creation, from the initial design objectives to the final execution.
Design Objective
The vision for Cafe JC’s was clear from the start: to create a timeless French cafe cum multi-cuisine restaurant with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The design needed to stand out on a high-potential street, creating an irresistible welcoming urge for walkers.
Design Challenges & Opportunities
The design process was not without its challenges. The dual interconnected space required careful planning to make the best use of the layered indoor and outdoor configuration. The outdoor space needed to be functional for all-weather use, while the indoor space had to be welcoming, warm, and open. The restaurant also needed to have an appealing night atmosphere, including lighting and styling, to make the most of the restaurant business’s prime hours.
Design Features
The design took full advantage of the layered indoor and outdoor configuration, allowing for a seamless transition between the two areas and enhancing the overall spatial experience. The outdoor space was enhanced for all-weather use, ensuring that it could be utilized throughout the year, regardless of the weather conditions.
The indoor space was designed to be welcoming, warm, and open, creating a comfortable environment for patrons. Large French windows opening to the outdoor seating area drew in natural light and fresh air, enhancing the indoor ambiance and creating a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere.
The design proposed a French-style street restaurant cum café inspired design with raw materials and authentic appeal. This gave the restaurant a unique and timeless look. An appealing night atmosphere was created, including lighting and styling, to make the most of the restaurant business’s prime hours.
Execution
The project was developed on Archicad from start to finish, with all architectural drawings detailed by the designer. The model was then transferred to 3dsmax for renderings. A 360 virtual tour was pivotal for getting the design approved.
Conclusion
The design of Cafe JC’s has received widespread acclaim, with many praising its unique ambiance and attention to detail. The project has been featured in Home & Design Trends magazine and was even used as the setting for a music album. As an architectural designer, the goal was to create a space that not only looks beautiful but also provides a memorable experience. With an area of 1500 sq.ft., every inch of Cafe JC’s has been thoughtfully designed and executed, making it a true architectural marvel.
So, the next time you’re in Chandigarh, make sure to visit Cafe JC’s. You’ll be stepping into a space where every detail has been carefully considered, from the layout to the lighting. It’s more than just a restaurant - it’s an experience. Enjoy your visit!
