Coconut husk is seen widely in the design of the restaurant Cocos Nucifera. The use of its wiry texture has been translated into the finishes by sight and touch. Also bringing its properties of sound absorbency and insulation. The layout has been formulated based upon the traditions of South Indian meal routines, having a dining area and a post meal zone to converse amongst ourselves followed by the exit.
