​​In this New Delhi home by Manish Gulati of M:OFA, the courtyard becomes the sculptural heart of the house. Inspired by Antoni Gaudí and shaped through AI‑aided design, it rises three storeys high in a fluid, engineered stone form that twists through the core of the home.

Light filters through apertures in the surrealist space, creating a play of shape and shade that unfolds throughout the day like a piece of theatre.

“Supercharged by AI design softwares and precise digital modelling, this cave-like space is at the heart of a surrealist courtyard home in New Delhi, India.”

The design draws inspiration from Wes Anderson’s distinctive, colorful style, blending contextual elements from Delhi and Faridabad’s medieval architecture with film-inspired color palettes to create a uniquely curated spatial experience.

Café Delhi Heights in Faridabad blends Wes Anderson’s vibrant cinematic style with Delhi-Faridabad’s heritage, creating a whimsical, multigenerational café that encourages connection, storytelling, and shareable experiences through its immersive, stage-like design.

“Cafe Delhi Heights is an ode to cinematic wonders, where every corner depicts visual stories, designed to be experienced. The interplay of colors, textures, and symmetry echoes a director’s vision, offering a setting of nostalgia and modernity. It’s a delightful fusion of architecture and cinema, from Wes Anderson’s charm to old Delhi’s vibrant bazaars.” ~ Anusha Sridhar (TAD Editor)
