one table. two recipes

Here architecture follows a recipe.

One is prepared in the kitchen. The other is developed using waste trimmings from the same kitchen to create the room itself. At the centre is a single communal table where diners encounter these two recipes at different scales: as food and as material surrounding them.

Chef and artist arrive at this table with a shared conviction: value lies in what is overlooked. Joshi builds his cooking around humble vegetables, patient fermentation and seasonal rhythms. Anomalia begins from “why” before “how,” treating each material as an active participant with its own lifecycle. Both practices transform the ordinary through patience, and see making as an ecosystem.

I. The Table: The hearty warming food, table elements, and lamps made from kitchen-derived bio-textiles become one composition, turning the table into a gallery.

II. The Envelope: Two free-standing timber lattices form the space, partially filled with bio-textiles. Winter crops grow inside, creating a threshold connecting what is grown, what is transformed, and what is served.

III. The Environment: A crisp winter atmosphere is created through cool air, subtle mist, and light filtering through the bio-textiles. Monochrome projections reveal the parallel processes of kitchen and material studio, connecting the preparation of food with the making of its material counterpart.
