NATURE’S NOOK – CAFE + Co-WORKING SPACE – JD Design Awards 2024
Aneeta Martin, a BSc in Interior Design graduate, earned recognition at the JD Design Awards 2024 in Kochi for her exceptional project “Nature’s Nook,” which seamlessly blends a nature-inspired cafe with a co-working space. The project stands out for its innovative approach to combining hospitality and office environments, creating a space that celebrates natural beauty while enhancing the user experience. By focusing on themes of tranquility and productivity, Nature’s Nook offers a refreshing take on modern design that caters to both relaxation and work.
The Nature-Inspired Cafe, aptly named “Floral Elegance,” is a haven of serenity, featuring a monochromatic palette dominated by soft pink tones that evoke calmness and sophistication. Lush floral arrangements and botanical accents adorn the space, creating an immersive environment that invites guests to unwind and connect with nature. The addition of swing-type seating adds a playful, whimsical element, allowing patrons to enjoy a moment of relaxation amidst the floral decor. Natural light floods the space through strategically placed windows, highlighting the intricate floral motifs and enhancing the overall ambiance, making every visit to the cafe a delightful sensory experience.

In contrast, the co-working space within Nature’s Nook is designed to boost productivity while maintaining a strong connection to nature. A central courtyard, surrounded by glass walls, serves as the heart of the workspace, offering views of lush greenery and allowing ample natural light to fill the area. This oasis-like setting is complemented by flexible workstations, private meeting rooms, and quiet zones, all designed to cater to various work preferences. The transparent glass walls promote a sense of community among co-workers while preserving individual privacy, ensuring a balanced environment that fosters creativity and collaboration. Through thoughtful design and the integration of natural elements, Nature’s Nook redefines the concept of a co-working space, making it a truly inspiring place to work and relax.
