Forefathers餐厅丨印度丨23 Degrees Design Shift

一群年轻创业者提出了一个构想：在他们雄心勃勃的餐饮项目中，以现代手法演绎传统地方菜肴。在一系列头脑风暴中，这一想法逐渐转化为“在当下语境中庆祝古老生活方式”的概念。项目选址于海得拉巴市备受青睐的Jubilee Hills，占地约6700平方英尺，前后分别邻接商业建筑和一座社区公园。设计挑战在于如何以现代的建造技术与形式，表达出一种源自本土材料的建筑语言。

A group of young entrepreneurs briefed us with an idea to serve traditional regional cuisine with a modern twist in their ambitious F&B venture. In a series of brainstorming sessions, this idea translated into a ‘celebration of older ways of life in today’s context’.The site, bordered by commercial buildings on both sides and a community park at the rear, occupies 6700 sq.ft. on Jubilee Hills, the sought after address in the city of Hyderabad. The challenge lay in crafting an architectural language by using vernacular construction materials in modern techniques and forms.

建筑的叙事始于一道厚重的入口围墙，引导人们走向一个高达25英尺的坡屋顶结构，形成强烈的视觉锚点。屋顶由仿若树干般分叉的钢柱支撑，在多个点位撑起顶盖，营造出沉浸式的迎宾体验。这个空间自然过渡至一段12英尺高的平屋顶区域，设置了接待空间，进而引入一个高达40英尺的通高体量，并设有夹层空间，最终通往一个静谧的半开放后院，置于一个28英尺高的坡顶之下。▼分析图，analysis diagram© 23 Degrees Design Shift

The architectural journey commences at an entrance defined by imposing walls, guiding towards a 25′ pitched roof, creating a strong visual anchor. The canopy itself, supported by the tree-like fragmented steel columns, holding the roof at multiple points creates an immersive welcoming experience. This volume transitions seamlessly into a 12-foot flat roof that houses the reception area, revealing a 40-foot-high space characterized by mezzanine levels. It concludes in a serene semi open backyard, housed under a 28′ high pitched roof.

精心编排的空间序列，实现了从入口至后院的流畅过渡，使访客得以充分感知建筑构成的节奏与层次。前后两个屋檐以玻璃方窗嵌入陶瓦之中，为传统构造注入现代气息，同时在日间产生丰富的光影变幻，宛如日落时的斑斓色彩。

A careful orchestration of sequence fosters a smooth and seamless flow, allowing one to appreciate the architectural composition. The square glass inserts into the terracotta tile roofing in the front and rear canopy-a modern twist to a conventional design feature-creates a dynamic light and shadow patterns throughout the day, much like the shifting colors of a sunset.

在室内，高低错落的用餐空间让宾客在享受美食的同时，也能眺望通高空间的戏剧性视野，偶尔还能一窥设于夹层上的厨房操作。空间的核心是一件雕塑装置，由织物立方体组成，展现了卡拉姆卡里（Kalamkari）、波昌帕利（Pochampally）和皮影戏等本地传统工艺的魅力。夹层区域设有一处亲切的吧台，并通过玻璃幕墙无缝延伸至半开放的后院屋檐之下，建立起室内外之间的自然联结，形成富有动态感的空间构图。

Inside, the split-level dining experiences, allows guests to marvel at the views into the dramatic 40-foot volume, while catching glimpses of the first-floor kitchen. The centre-piece of the space is a sculptural installation, featuring fabric cubes that highlight the rich traditional crafts of the region, including Kalamkari, Pochampally and leather puppetry. The mezzanine level, complete with an inviting bar counter beneath it, flows seamlessly through glass walls into the semi-open rear canopy, creating an organic connection between the backyard and indoor spaces, creating a dynamic and visually engaging architectural composition.

后院设有客座区与现场厨房，每组座位模块高低不一，在不设置实体或视觉隔断的前提下营造出私密感，仿佛“空间中的空间”。通过植物与水体的穿插组织，划分出功能清晰、又与自然高度互动的就餐区域。

The backyard of the property features guest seating and a live kitchen. Each seating module is elevated at different levels, providing a sense of privacy without the need for physical or visual barriers—a space within a space emerges without solid barriers, using landscape elements to create private areas. These seating modules are interwoven with landscaped pockets and water bodies to create functional areas that maximize interaction with the natural elements.

本项目将手工砖和陶瓦等传统材料，与现代混凝土及钢结构体系相结合，不仅稳定结构，也凸显其历史质感。在肌理与表面处理上，既唤起对往昔的怀念，又展现出当代建造的精确与克制。整体风格趋于极简，却在砖缝排列和细部处理上蕴含丰富层次，营造出一种独特的空间识别感——既是一种对“美好旧时光”的温情回望，也是一种对现代审美的积极回应。

The project combines traditional materials like handmade bricks and terracotta tiles, symbolising heritage, craftsmanship, and endurance, with contemporary techniques—such as concrete and steel framing—to stabilize and complement their historic integrity. A balance between past and present is created through textures and finishes that evoke nostalgia, paired with the precision of modern construction. The result is a minimalist aesthetic that draws strength from uniformity, yet introduces intricacy through the careful detailing of brick patterns. This combination creates a unique spatial identity that makes the space feel both a wistful remembrance of ‘good-old-days’, whilst embracing modern sensibilities.
