Design Details

Unique Properties: The project is located in the European inspired street in a natural village near Chongqing City of China. This retro cafe is designed for those who want to experience the European culture around the country and at the same time it blends very well with its surroundings environment. Trough this way, visitors can feel both the cultural and the aesthetic enjoyment as there are massive European exhibitions and artworks in the cafe. Furthermore, there is a tree planted inside the door of the interior space, which can connect the interior and exterior space so as to make sure consumers can experience the natural view in the interior space of the cafe.
Inspiration: The inspiration comes from the decorative art of the classical French and the British interior design, which enhance the atmosphere of space. On this basis, designers also hope to add some Rome marble pillars to divide the function of the space, making it an sunken area, which form the sense of combination of the void and the solid.
Research: The design team first conducted a field survey of the surroundings, hoping to create a style that was consistent with the surroundings by bringing the natural view into the interior space. Therefore, the design team used many European classical elements and decorations, and incorporate the addition of trees in the interior environment, connecting the natural scenery outside the window. At the same time, the use of large windows narrow the gap between interior and exterior space. Lastly, the cafe provides employment opportunities and promotes the development of the local economy.
Challenge: The most significant challenge for the design team was to combine the natural landscape in the area with the classical style. The efforts to preserve the natural view make consumers enjoy natural environment and sustainable relationship.
Realization and Technology: Main materials: white natural marble, natural leather, laminate floor, brass and white latex paint.
Operation and Interaction: The entire space is divided by some Rome marble pillars into two areas. Through this way, the function of space is clear and at the same time the entire interior design is spacious and transparent.
Project Duration and Location: The project started in December 2019 and finished in November 2020 in Chongqing City.
Specifications: The project is 130.3 square meter.
