About Beans Disseny d'Interior de Cafeteria

Beans és una cafeteria i restaurant a Ma On Shan, Hong Kong, que serveix cafè, postres i àpats lleugers. L'interior ocupa 2263 peus quadrats i no té finestres, de manera que el disseny adopta la forma d'una cova de cristall. Les superfícies reflectants i la il·luminació càlida il·luminen l'espai i redueixen la sensació de tancament. Una superfície ondulada d'acer inoxidable forma un llac prop del sostre de l'entrada, i les roques estretes s'han fet mitjançant impressió tridimensional. Un arbre s'alça al centre i creix cap a la llum. La barra de postres se situa prop de l'entrada per facilitar les comandes.

Production Technology
Designer creates a lake in front of the entrance ceiling with waving stainless steal surface, some narrow gull rocks are produced by 3D printing. The rocks are not identical to stimulate the power of nature. A tree is planted in the centre of the restaurant and grow toward the light in the middle, to make the light so real to be sun. Special lighting also allows brightness to be auto associated with outdoor true sunlight.
Design Challenge
Space without window is a challenge to create brand image of Beans which emphasis on nature. Designer applied several elements to brighten the space and reflections on the wall to reduce the pressure of a closed interior. He also reduced the amount of walls to make the area more spacious.
Research

The ceiling, all, and combination of colour and decoration are from inspired by the real caves. Moreover, lots of 3D printing models were produced before construction.
