The Design

About Dry Salon Innenarchitektur eines Cafés

Dry Salon ist ein Café-Interieur, das in einem über vierzig Jahre alten, schmalen und langgestreckten Haus entstanden ist. Der Umbau ordnet die Grundkonstruktion neu, um die Qualität des Raums zu verbessern. Ein transparentes Oberlicht ersetzt das frühere Regendach und bringt Tageslicht in das dunkle Innere. Große Glasfenster am Eingang verbinden den Innen- mit dem Außenbereich. Ein Gitter an der Fassade verbirgt die Klimaanlage und ermöglicht zugleich eine einfache Wartung. Schlichte Blöcke aus Stein und Holz lassen sich als Tische oder Sitzgelegenheiten nutzen, sodass die Gäste die Anordnung selbst bestimmen.

Behind the Design

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: The project is a narrow and long old house more than forty years old. The reorganization and renovation of the basic construction is the key point of the project. Externally, the grille style conceals the outdoor unit of the air conditioner. It is not only good-looking but also convenient for maintenance. The simple stone and wood blocks are placed in the space so that the users can define and use them as a table or a chair on their own. The iron pieces near the wall are built like a swing.
Production Technology: For the basic reorganization, first is to clean up the messiness to upgrade the outdoor and indoor space quality. The external of the construction is circled and defined by the grille not only for the visual beauty but also for the convenient access of the repairmen. The rain shade of the indoor ceiling is removed and replaced by the transparent skylight to successfully open the dark space and introduce light. In the design, the modern style is applied to interpret the classical beauty, especially the classical are lexicon that connects the space, from the structure where the LOGO on the external of the construction connects the French windows, the gate made of the are titanium stainless steel, the skylight connecting the are wallboard of the indoor space, to the indoor circle chair, coffee table, and bar.
Design Challenge: The challenges are how to endow the isolated and messy old house with the open, bright, and transparent sense of space and how to make the aesthetic feeling of the external consistent and at the same time cater to both the functions and the convenience of maintenance.
Research: To achieve both the atmosphere and function of an art salon, the designer reorganizes the basic construction to upgrade the overall quality of the environment. The external of the construction is beautified with the grille. The outdoor light is introduced through the glass material and the overall visual style is simplified. The design with a sense of modernity adorns the classical style. The metal materials add more exquisiteness.
Inspiration: Inspired by the concept of the art salon, the project of the old house renovation starts with a small style café in operation. Space interprets the classical elements with the modern style. Most parts of the ceiling, the floor, and the wall are left blank. Through the material arrangement and combination of the simple structure, the functions are decided depending on the user’s needs and space is endowed with more imagination and creativity.
Operation Flow: The entrance is built with the large glass French windows. The feature of transparency creates the interaction between the indoor and outdoor space and makes the entrance the visual focus. The indoor space is of minimalism and openness. The simple arrangement of materials and structure enables the people indoors to chat and rest freely. Whether they are seated at the bar or near the entrance, they can interact and converse with each other.
