Designed by Mumbai-based Studio 6158, Tuya’s is a restaurant built on the principles of tropical modernism that celebrates the open skies.

Malleshwaram is an ode to the traditional Dravidian and Carnatic courtyard homes. It is intended to be a celebration of the Indian craft and skill, with many a reference from the huge old inward-looking rural mansions. In this space, where tradition and elegance converge, the architecture sings in whispers of wood and shadows.

Il Carpaccio Restaurant in São Paulo, Brazil, designed by FJ55 Arquitetos, offers a contemporary take on traditional Italian elements with its elevated brick facade, indoor courtyard, and retractable roof.
