About The Cross Disseny d'interiors de cafeteria

The Cross és una cafeteria i espai cultural situat en un soterrani a Taiwan. El disseny transforma una zona fosca amb llum natural limitada en un animat lloc de trobada de 1200 metres quadrats. Parets multimèdia LED a tot color recorren les superfícies interiors i donen suport a experiències visuals interactives. El taulell del bar està fet de maons de vidre amb il·luminació LED programable. L'acer inoxidable i el revestiment de miralls redueixen el pes visual de les bigues i columnes estructurals. La distribució de planta oberta i la zonificació flexible acullen exposicions, música en directe i esdeveniments comunitaris.

Production Technology: The design utilized advanced materials such as led media walls and glass bricks for the bar counter. The led walls were employed to create a dynamic multimedia environment, while glass bricks were chosen for their versatility in the bar counter. Stainless steel cladding was used to reduce the visual heaviness of structural beams and columns. These materials were selected for their aesthetic value and their ability to meet the project's technological and structural demands.
Design Challenge: The greatest challenge was the transformation of a dim, underutilized basement space into a vibrant, multi-functional cultural hub. The design had to address the lack of natural light while preserving the building's structural integrity. External factors, such as existing piping systems and large structural beams, required innovative design solutions, like using stainless steel and mirrored cladding to enhance spatial perception.
Research: This project focused on transforming a dim basement into a vibrant cultural venue using multimedia elements like LED walls. The research aimed to enhance the space's visual impact and community engagement. Design trials and expert consultations were conducted, leading to a successful integration of technology, which revitalized the space and fostered a dynamic cultural atmosphere.
Inspiration: The inspiration stemmed from the challenge of transforming a basement with limited natural light into a lively cultural space. The concept focused on creating an immersive environment through interactive led media walls and dynamic lighting, effectively bringing the space to life with technology and vibrant visual energy.
Project Duration: The project started in October 2024 and finished in August 2025 in Taiwan, China.
Operation Flow: The space is designed for flexible zoning and multi-functional use. The LED media walls allow for interactive visual experiences, while the open-plan layout facilitates a seamless flow between various activities. The bar counter, with its programmable LED lighting, serves as a focal point, creating a dynamic space for social interaction, exhibitions, and performances.
