Legacy Engineering: The Sheila Kaul Centennial Celebration
G Caffe was commissioned to architect the 100th birthday celebration of a living legend—Sheila Kaul. This was not merely an event; it was a high-stakes exercise in Narrative Restoration, requiring a balance of historical reverence and modern 3D design.
Engineering a Legend
The Centennial Masterpiece.
Explore how G Caffe used 3D walkthroughs, photo restoration, and minimalist design to celebrate the 100th birthday of Sheila Kaul, turning a century of memories into a sophisticated reality.
The Architecture of Memory
To ensure the vision was flawless before execution, we engineered a 3D digital walkthrough, allowing the family to experience the spatial flow of the venue. This strategic planning phase ensured that every creative idea was vetted for impact and emotional resonance.
The Curation of a Century
Our team transformed the venue into a living archive, blending heritage with innovation.
- The Chronological Walkway: We restored and recreated images dating back 80 years, guiding guests through a visual journey of the honoree’s life.
- The Multidimensional Portrait: A bespoke 3D portrait was designed to offer a complete perspective from every angle, serving as a focal point for guest interaction.
- The Chromatic Shift: A significant black-and-white photograph from the honoree’s youth was meticulously colorized and enlarged to serve as a vibrant, authoritative backdrop for the podium.
Minimalist Sovereignty

True luxury lies in the avoidance of extravagance. G Caffe adopted a Minimalist Approach, focusing on meticulous detail over loud displays. From the quilled welcome area to the release of an unfinished autobiography, every element—invitations, return gifts, and the symbolic release of 100 balloons—was curated for authenticity.
Logistics with Empathy
We prioritized the honoree’s comfort, designing a specialized arrival area for wheelchair accessibility and managing guest flow to ensure the environment remained intimate rather than overwhelming.
At G Caffe, we don’t just host events; we immortalize legacies.
