THE TEA CAFE

Location: Guwahati, Assam

Area: 4500 sq.ft.

Typology: Hospitality Interiors

Project Status: Completed

Nestled amidst an expansive tea plantation & reserved forest, the Tea Centre Café is envisioned as a space that draws the outdoors inward through layered natural elements and a restrained material palette. Greenery is thoughtfully integrated throughout the interiors to create an immersive inside–outside experience, gently dissolving the boundary between the built environment and the surrounding landscape. Indigenous materials such as bamboo and rattan lend the space a distinct regional identity while celebrating local craftsmanship.

Natural stone laid in an irregular coursed pattern, paired with polished concrete flooring, establishes a quiet and minimal base palette, allowing the textures of the materials to take focus. Exposed brick and warm wood accents further introduce depth, tactility, and warmth to the space. Anchoring the café is a grey marble bar that brings a refined edge to the interiors, balancing the rustic materiality with a subtle sense of elegance.
