About
Nataka located in Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad, transformed from a converted bungalow into a multi-level cafe. The lower level, skewed in it's axis with a glass facade, maintains a strong connection with the surrounding environment, allowing natural light to flood the interior and offering views of the greenery outside. Above this, a striking block finished in terracota red commands attention. This upper structure, punctuated by arches that serve as perforations, adds a bold element to the cafe's design. For the photographs, I intentionally embraced a moody aesthetic to emphasize the bold color choice. The dense greenery surrounding Nataka provided a perfect backdrop, making the red exterior stand out in vivid contrast.
