Design Brief
Arena 57 is a football turf facility located in Kakanad, Kochi, designed to accommodate five-a-side and seven-a-side matches. The project combines sports and leisure by integrating a café where players can relax, refresh, and watch live screenings of major international football leagues.
Spatial Planning & Concept
The café is designed with an open-plan layout, allowing uninterrupted visual connectivity between the seating area and the football turf. The structure is constructed using a combination of steel framing and mud bricks, balancing structural efficiency with natural material expression. The built program includes a dining area with a screening and play-viewing zone, a fully functional kitchen, toilets, refreshment rooms, and a store room.
