About Cups Kamakura Disseny d'Interiors de Cafeteria i Hotel

Cups Kamakura és un disseny d'interiors per a un cafè restaurant que també fa de funció d'hotel. L'edifici mira cap a l'oceà a Kamakura, Japó, i el disseny s'inspira en imatges d'aigua. Es van crear gràfics basats en l'aigua i es van aplicar als espais de la cafeteria i l'hotel mitjançant un treball acurat sobre l'equilibri de color, el reflex de la llum solar i la selecció de materials. L'edifici té més de 50 anys, així que es van retirar els panells del sostre per revelar l'estructura de fusta original. La fusta es va acabar amb un vernís brillant transparent i es van afegir nous suports d'acer.
