Project Overview
ArtYard Café is a culinary destination where art and design thrive, nestled within the calm of a public park in Khulna. The café merges European-inspired culture with local creativity, transforming every corner into a living gallery with contributions from artists, sculptors, and craftsmen.
Accessible through two main entrances, the space accommodates 100 indoor and 50 outdoor guests. The layout includes a linear lounge, central dining hall, service zone, and a triangular multi-cuisine kitchen. Outside, three experiential zonesâa fountain court, open dining, and a live Kebab Stationâenhance the guest experience.
Materials and finishes are carefully handcrafted: epoxy-coated teak tables, Jamdani fabrics, raw brick walls, bicycle-wheel chandeliers, and antique decorative elements evoke nostalgia. Outdoors, raw mahogany tables, clay-tiled roofing, stone pavement, and greenery maintain the authentic aesthetic. Daylight fills the interior while warm LED lighting highlights artworks at night, and over 80% of materials are recycled or repurposed.
ArtYard CafĂ© exemplifies sustainability, creativity, and communityâa place where coffee, craft, and culture converge to create an engaging and immersive experience for all visitors.
