REVIVING LEGACY WITH ELEGANCE

The Table Tennis Centre, Corporate Office, and Card Room at the Cricket Club of India were sensitively restored, blending modern functionality with a deep respect for the club’s art deco heritage, ensuring each space resonates with timeless charm and contemporary standards.

Table Tennis Centre

The Table Tennis Centre at the Cricket Club of India was meticulously designed to meet international standards, ensuring an unparalleled playing experience. The space is acoustically treated, with a carefully crafted dark interior palette that creates a striking contrast against the table tennis ball, enhancing visibility. Every detail, from the air conditioning system that minimizes draft interference to the specially customized wooden flooring from the Netherlands, has been considered to elevate the gameplay to professional levels. The lighting and acoustic work are tailored to perfection, reflecting sound and light harmoniously while upholding the technical requirements of high-stakes national events hosted here.

Card Room

Exuding colonial elegance, the Card Room combines old-world charm with modern comfort. Rich walnut veneers define the space, from the scooped elevations of the walls to the stately tables. Thoughtful touches like maroon and green accents, detailed curtain frills, and serrated columns evoke a bygone era while seamlessly integrating modern conveniences. Accommodating up to 140 people, the room boasts padded seating, marble flooring with intricate black inlay, and a curated selection of memorabilia, creating an atmosphere of nostalgia and sophistication.

Corporate Office

The Corporate Office reflects the illustrious history of the Cricket Club of India, blending heritage with functionality. The History Wall stands as a testament to the club’s legacy, showcasing past cricketers and presidents while leaving space for future additions. Leather chairs, braided tiebacks, and accent sash curtains complement the vintage charm of the office, while modern equipment integrates subtly into the design. The Chairman’s Office preserves its old-world character, embodying the club’s ethos of celebrating tradition while embracing progress.
