Introducing an additional unit to the Taragaon Museum, originally crafted by Carl Pruscha in 1970, our objective is to seamlessly integrate this new addition with the existing structure, demonstrating the utmost respect for its original design while achieving harmony with minimal disruption.

This café design preserves the original structure while introducing minimal changes, featuring multi-level seating for varied experiences and an integrated art gallery to showcase artists, creating a harmonious blend of comfort and artistic inspiration.

The existing space’s character is maintained, enriched by versatile seating options and a vibrant cultural hub.
