DESCRIPTION -
- ‘The Kettle’ cafe-kiosk in Dunollie Estate replaces a
rented trailer servery with a bespoke solution designed
and built by Tog Studio and Dunollie volunteers
- Built over adjacent to Dunollie Museum, the cafe-kiosk sits
comfortably in the context of the surrounding castle and
grounds.
- The combination of traditional joinery and digital
fabrication delivers a contemporary addition to the museum.
The recognisable dual-pitched roof is transformed by a
dramatic cantilevered corner, opening the serving counter
out towards the garden. The cafe-kiosk takes reference from
the neighbouring 1745 Dunollie House museum, while the
blackened exterior nods to the black kettle, a founding item
in the museum’s collection.
- Great consideration has been paid to the detailing to
ensure the cladding extends seamlessly between wall and
roof to establish a strong uninterrupted facade. The material
palette of black and blonde larch accentuates the cut-away
corner, breaking through the blackened outer skin of the
building to expose an enticing sanctuary where visitors can
take shelter.

 THE KADALAS CAFÉ
Sun-drenched sand, glistening waves, boats
dancing on water and the infiniteness of the
ocean… A comfortable seater, a favourite
cocktail, a plate of the best fare, some
soothing music, conversations with
someone, or a book to get lost into…

Designed by the experimental team of

“
architects from Zero Studio, Kadalas, a cafe in
Kozhikode encapsulates all the beauteous
elements and sublimity of the sea within its
four almost-transparent walls.

These dreamy, almost paradise-like scenarios are

what most crave for after a long day’s work or on
a holiday. Imagine if one gets to experience all
these charming attractions in a single space, from
morning to night, day after day… Well, there
exists a cafe where one can do just that in the
coastal city of Kozhikode, Kerala which goes by
the name — Kadalas.

STRUCTRURAL DESCRIPTION -
- ‘Borrowed from the sea, shades of blue and yellow along with plain cement
finish colors the flooring. Finishes and accessories (most of them being antique or
obtained from the old buildings nearby) reminisce a bygone era, thus
reconnecting the building with the past. The choice of furniture is mostly
traditional
- designed with a minimalistic approach to getting along with the concept of the
interior. Notably, in the base level, old teak wood panels make up for seat and
table tops, used without polishing off their patina, thus keeping the old world
charm; also, they accentuate on simple lines in order to not obstruct the outside
view.
-The design involved reforming this building with no changes in the existing area or
structural elements but in volume by altering the roof heights. The façade is
enveloped in corrugated cement sheets and rest of the exterior reflects similar hues
with exposed cement and glass finishes. The limited detail and ornamentation in the
exterior, as well as interior, has been a conscious decision so that the sea, with its
changing colors, remains the major focus of the design.
-Of the three levels, the base level features a curved jali which orients the circulation
and view towards the beach sands. The middle level offers an elevated scenic view
of the beach waters filtered through the foliage of a tree. The third level houses a
lounge space with a barrier-free view to the horizon. Though a standalone at first
look; a closer observation reveals that the café, in its attempt to deliver dining as a
full experience, has its ‘platter’ of design derived from the context itself.
