About the project (provided by the applicant)
Situated along the main highway connecting Dharamshala to Palampur, this charming eatery is a true reflection of the region's traditional values, centered around the staple meal known as «Dham.» The design Inspired by the local vernacular architecture, Takri seamlessly blends into its surroundings with a design that pays homage to the rich heritage of the area.
The main building materials, slate, and wood, were carefully chosen for their local availability and cultural significance. As you step inside, you'll be greeted by a warm and inviting ambiance, created by a carefully curated material palette that includes slate, mud finishes, and wood. The earthy tones and natural textures transport you to a past era, where traditions and hospitality were celebrated.
To bring the outdoors even closer, the roof features skylights that seamlessly connect the interior spaces with the surreal views outside, creating a unique dining experience that seamlessly combines the indoors and outdoors.
