Telangana Spice Kitchen

TSK is a 9,000 sq. ft. adaptive reuse restaurant project in Hyderabad, transforming a former Asian restaurant into a contemporary South Indian dining destination for the well-known local brand. The intervention combined architectural renovation and interior redesign, removing existing walls, extending the built form, and opening the space toward the surrounding landscape. A pitched clay-tile roof and enlarged openings establish a strong indoor–outdoor connection, immersing diners in greenery. Rooted in Telangana’s cultural identity, the design integrates ikat-inspired patterns, earthy material palettes, and vernacular references to create a warm, tactile environment that balances regional authenticity with contemporary hospitality design. The project reinterprets local tradition through adaptive reuse, using materiality, light, and landscape to shape a grounded yet modern dining experience.
